Elizabeth

Shekhar Kapur's visually stunning film tells the story of Queen Elizabeth I (Cate Blanchett), from her days as an innocent young woman to her coronation, up to the formation of her reputation as England's stern 'Virgin Queen.' A lush portrait of history, full of pomp, intrigue, and romance and anchored by Blanchett's award-winning performance and colourful direction from Kapur. The excellent supporting cast includes Geoffrey Rush, Joseph Fiennes, Christopher Eccleston, and Richard Attenborough.
