Review of Queen Christina (1934) by Tara H — 20 Jun 2008
Greta Garbo is one of the most iconic actresses ever to grace the screen, and this is one of her most personal roles. Her androgynous beauty comes to the fore in close-up, and her scenes with former lover John Gilbert are tender and touching.
The loneliness of the Swedish queen seems to mirror Garbo's own ambivalent relationship to her enduring fame.
