Elizabeth

Directed by Roger Michel with Quinn Queen Elizabeth IIThe British Royal Family, Paul McCartney et al.

Entertaining documentary The Queen’s Portrait Elizabeth And 70 years on the British throne. Fun music selection and rap editing in a collage depicting the Guardian, her family, politicians and dramatic events. The way she speaks, the pictures through the years, the gestures.

90 minutes of life’s choice, a mix of big and small, serious and fun. As her collaboration with James Bond /Daniel Craig At the opening of the 2012 London Olympics.

Roger Michael He died last fall. He has made several films, such as “Notting Hill” and the documentary “Nothing Like a Lady”. A little bit like that.

Many of them seem to get close to Elizabeth and her family through the TV series “The Crown” and in the movies/plays Helen Mirren. There are more special scenes here, with moments of a queen about to be released at horse races and on a boat trip.

Queen Elizabeth says the tiara is heavy to wear. So it weighs a lot. The 96-year-old did not talk about the significance of the assignment she was given. She wears the mask – even if there are spontaneous moments here. “Are you supposed to look like you’re having a good time?” she said during a photo session with G7 politicians in Cornwall this summer.

I’ve known for a long time that for her the answer is always yes.
