The Queen / UK/France/Italy / 2006
Forgiving Stephen Frears for the overdone symbolism of the stag, I can honestly say this was a refreshing, if not bewildering film. (A friend of mine used the word “campy.”) The humor is surprising—a joke about the Queen greasing Diana’s breaks, for one—but consistent. And while the complicated nature of each character makes them both unlikable and engrossing, I would’ve liked to have seen more from James Cromwell—he groans and scowls but never allows us inside Prince Philip.
Oh, and did I mention Helen Mirren?
