The Favourite; Yorgos Lanthimos, 2018, versions: OR,CS, languages: eng

{BAFTA 2019: Outstanding British Film of the Year}

Director: Yorgos Lanthimos • Cast: Olivia Colman, Rachel Weisz, Emma Stone, Nicholas Hoult, Joe Alwyn, Mark Gatiss, Wilson Radjou-Pujalte, Basil Eidenbenz

Under the unsteady rule of Anne Stuart, the meek, melancholic Queen of England, the British royal court transforms into an arena, a place of constant struggle for her highness’s fickle affections. Among the challengers are ministers, generals, but especially her two ladies-in-waiting: Lady Sarah and the servant Abigail. In a drama infused with black humour, these two women will stop at nothing…

Following Battle of the Sexes and Disobedience, Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz return to the FFi programme, this time in tandem, in a costume drama that has racked up more than 150 awards to date. The film’s trio of first-class actresses is crowned by Olivia Colman, who earned an Oscar this year for her portrayal of Queen Anne.
