As a historical film enthusiast, I was intrigued by Queen Marie of Romania. This film is based on true events that occurred in Romania following the First World War. The film gives us an insight into a particular controversial event in history involving Queen Marie, who is also descended from British Royalty as she is Queen Victoria's granddaughter.
Roxana Lupu stands out in her starring role as Queen Marie as she gives an impeccable performance in her depiction of this regal character. Not only does she beautifully portray a gentle essence in Queen Marie, she is also able to organically couple this with the strong determination the Queen emanates when she is faced with patriarchal and political opposition. One cannot help but root for this character.
The great performance from the cast is complimented by an authentic looking setting and period costumes. I was drawn into this historical world and witnessed a significant Romanian event that not many outside of Romania are aware had existed.
The film is predominantly in English and Romanian dialogue with respective subtitles for both. I found that the Romanian dialogue and the European accents of the English speaking actors made the piece very convincing.
Once exposed to this Romanian narrative, I was eager to know more about Queen Marie and found myself googling more information on her place in history. You probably will to.
