Elizabeth: The Golden Age

Queen Elizabeth faces court intrigues, assassination plots, and the Spanish Armada in a visually stunning historical drama.

Trailer

Why watch this film?

The second installment in Shekhar Kapur's trilogy about the reign of Elizabeth I is a visual and emotional delight. Showcasing the character now in full adulthood and thanks to the Oscar-winning performance of Cate Blanchett, the indomable spirit of this historical figure who overcame hundreds of obstacles to protect her kingdom is transmitted. However, the plot is simplistic, at times oversimplifying complex historical events to privilege the showy (and expensive) staging with wide shots and impeccable costumes. If you like period films, you can't miss it.
