Elizabeth: A Portrait in Part(s)

Roger Michell weaves a beautiful and celebratory portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, the longest-lived and longest reigning British monarch. He utilizes heaps of archival footage to explore the Queen’s power – as a woman, a leader, and a cultural icon. The breadth of materials and stories is enormous, moving from political crises to cultural events, passing over decades, faces, countries, and to some extent also offers a portrait of the world and of Britain from the years of recovery following WWII to the present day. "A remarkable film about a remarkable life, from a remarkable director" (Empire Magazine).
