Not that adept in the history of all this (although it did force me back into a college history text to boneup) the TV trailers for this made for this watch.The acting is magnificent, with the costumes and sets and brilliance of the photography is eerie and captivating!The choice to keep the violent scenes as well as the sensual ones leaving much to the imagination is to be applauded. We all still got the point without all the details.Truly enjoyable and admirable for the courage and wisdom and love of country that this remarkable queen exhibited!
