Review of The Lion in Winter (1968) by Augustine H — 04 Aug 2013

Depicting the story of the haunting late years of Henry II, The Lion in Winter features brilliant confrontations between Peter O'Toole, Katharine Hepburn, Anthony Hopkins and the remaining cast. Despite the historical inaccuracy of the film, the bloody origin and aftermath are all facts easily forgotten nowadays, especially for the non-British people who know few about history.

Despite the excellent performance from the cast, the confrontation, provocation and revelation are just too tiresome and unbearable to watch and recall.
