Elizabeth (1998)
Country: GB
Technical: col 123m
Director: Shekhar Kapur
Cast: Cate Blanchett, Geoffrey Rush, Christopher Eccleston, Joseph Fiennes, Richard Attenborough, Fanny Ardant, Vincent Cassel
Synopsis:
The young princess Elizabeth just survives Mary but has to contend with intriguing courtiers, foreign suitors and religious division at home.
Review:
A refreshing outsider's view of English history, politically unpartisan, making the court seem no better than that of La Reine Margot, for instance, but rather, as in the director's Bandit Queen, showing how one woman's courage and intelligence pulled her through.
