Spencer

The marriage of Princess Diana and Prince Charles has long since grown cold. Though rumours of affairs and a divorce abound, peace is ordained for the Christmas festivities at the Queen’s Sandringham Estate. There's eating and drinking, shooting and hunting. Diana knows the game. But this year, things will be a whole lot different. Spencer is an imagining of what might have happened during those few fateful days.

“Princess Diana’s disastrous marriage makes a magnificent farce. Chilean director Pablo Larraín spins the headlines and scandals into a full-blown Gothic nightmare, an opulent ice palace of a movie with shades of Rebecca at the edges and a pleasing bat-squeak of absurdity in its portrayal of the royals. Larraín’s approach to the material is rich and intoxicating and altogether magnificent. (...) Stewart effectively captures the agony of a woman so programmed and insulated that she feels she has no escape and has lost sight of who she is. (...) Should you ever be invited, please don’t go to Sandringham. Larraín makes the place look as spooky as Kubrick’s hotel in The Shining.” - The Guardian
