The Navigator: A Medieval Odyssey (1988, Dir. Vincent Ward)

An apocalyptic plague drives a group of medieval villagers to dig through the Earth — and they somehow emerge in 20th-century New Zealand.
What sounds absurd becomes an allegory about faith, survival, and time. Shot in rich black-and-white medieval scenes and glowing color in the “future,” it’s one of the strangest and most touching fantasy films ever made.
Think Monty Python meets Tarkovsky, minus the jokes but full of wonder.
