So, 'Illuminations: Treasures of the Middle Ages' is this fascinating documentary that dives deep into the world of illuminated manuscripts. You’ve got Andrew Graham-Dixon, who’s quite the art critic, guiding us through this impressive exhibition at the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge. It’s really intriguing how he teams up with Germaine Greer and illustrator Quentin Blake—there’s a nice mix of perspectives on the power these manuscripts held back in the day, both religiously and politically. The pacing’s pretty smooth, allowing the viewer to soak in the details without feeling rushed. The atmosphere is rich, almost meditative, especially with the stunning visuals of the manuscripts. It’s a nice blend of history and art that really highlights the beauty and significance of these treasures.
