關於這部電影

Based on Philippa Gregory's acclaimed best-selling novel, this brilliant retelling of the story of Anne Boleyn stars Academy Award winner Natalie Portman, Scarlett Johannson and Eric Bana. Centered around the claustrophobic intrigue that was the court of Henry VIII, this historical drama presents a calculating Anne (Portman), who usurps her older sister Mary (Johannson) as the king's mistress and ultimately desires to be his new queen. A sophisticated and complex study of ambition and deception, The Other Boleyn Girl is a compelling and well-acted film made all the more powerful when one remembers the brutal fate of most of Henry's wives. Also starring Academy Award nominee Kristen Scott Thomas.

評分和評論

Good performances undermined by poor screenwriting. Considering the material it had to work with — court intrigue, religious upheaval, tyranny, the place of women in the 16th century — it feels like a lot of potential was wasted. The film oversimplifies Gregory's book to the point where it has nothing to say about anything.

I loved this film seen it more then once :-)

Historic love story
