The Queen
Our Leaders. Ourselves.
Directed by Stephen Frears
Produced by Granada Productions, Pathé Renn Productions
A restrained, melancholic examination of duty, grief, and the collision between private loss and public expectation in the aftermath of Princess Diana's death.
The Queen is an intimate behind the scenes glimpse at the interaction between HM Elizabeth II and Prime Minister Tony Blair during their struggle, following the death of Diana, to reach a compromise between what was a private tragedy for the Royal family and the public's demand for an overt display of mourning.
