FilmCrunch 049: The Queen DVD Review
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Miramax, Drama, Foreign, DVD Reviews, Short FilmCrunch, Videocasts,
Veronica Santiago and Neil Estep review the DVD release of The Queen in this episode of FilmCrunch:
A revealing, witty portrait of the British royal family in crisis immediately following the death of Princess Diana. The setting for this fictional account of real events is no less than the private chambers of the Royal Family and the British government in the wake of the sudden death of Princess Diana in August of 1997. In the immediate aftermath of the Princess’s passing, the tightly contained, tradition-bound world of the Queen of England clashes with the slick modernity of the country’s brand new, image-conscious Prime Minister, Tony Blair. The result is an intimate, yet thematically epic, battle between private and public, responsibility and emotion, custom and action - as a grieving nation waits to see what its leaders will do.
