I just watched, for the third time- Elizabeth The Golden Age. I was feeling the need for a costume drama. What I got this time- that Elizabeth- as I have known, I don't get all my information from the cinema, was a kick ass queen. She has to be, perhaps the greatest monarch of all time. Surely there is someone to disagree, and my reasons would not hold up under a contest. What caught my attention-to the point of distraction- was the colour in the costumes Elizabeth-Cate wore.
The richest most vivid and saturated jewels of colour.
The movie, as are any of her performances, is worth a second, or even third look.

I watched this for the first time last night. I was so distracted by the gorgeous costumes and Cate's unconventional beauty and a bit by the dashing Clive, I quickly came to the conclusion I must rent it! The pause and rewind features will be most welcome to truly enjoy this film!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree!
ReplyDeleteHeart-stopping.
ReplyDeleteI adore this movie.
I adore this Queen!
I love that version of Liz I. Also, do watch the version starring Anne Marie Duff and Tom Hardy. I think it was Elizabeth I, no I can't remember now. It was great though.
ReplyDeleteI agree, I think it was a gorgeous spectacle- Does anyone know the costume designer for that film ??
ReplyDeleteSixty years of relative peace in a troubled world, a balanced budget, a smooth-ish succession. Definitely!
ReplyDeletea spectacular film
