The Story

Stephen Frears' critically acclaimed film offers an intimate, almost documentary-like portrait of Queen Elizabeth II during one of the most turbulent periods in modern British history. Set in 1997, the story follows the strained relationship between the newly elected Prime Minister Tony Blair and the stoic monarch in the wake of Princess Diana's tragic death. Featuring a powerful performance by Helen Mirren, this film explores the clash between tradition and modernity, and the question of who truly holds power.
