I recently watched the two 'Elizabeth' films with Cate Blanchet starring as the great Queen. I have never had any great desire to watch these films and only by chance saw the first one on TV last week.
What a great surprise!! Fantastic films with excellent acting and direction, great scripts and a real sense of what a difficult time Elizabeth I had in ruling England.
I was gripped from start to finish and particularly loved Geoffrey Rush as Walsingham. Cate Blanchet delivers her finest performances by a long way and I can't believe I waited nearly 14 years to watch a real classic.
Well done to everyone involved in both films. I have to say the first probably has the edge on the second, but both are well worth watching again and again.
What is your favourite period film?
