Review of The Favourite (2018) by Alsgore — 22 Jan 2019
It is a parabel about our time:
Queen Anne represents spoiled rudderless Europe. Abigail is Germany: financial and moral bankrupt after 2 wars but still managed to take over the power in present day Europe. At the expense of the exiled Sarah who is Greece,(like the director of this movie). Greece, once the cradle of European culture, but now bankrupt and on the leash by Germany... Lanthimos has put a big Greek stamp on this British story.
I didn't like the very wide observation camera angles, but they referred to this age.
No Oscar material movie but the acting makes it worth seeing.
