Description
Based on Philippa Gregory's acclaimed best-selling novel, this brilliant retelling of the story of Anne Boleyn stars Academy Award-winner Natalie Portman, Scarlett Johannson and Eric Bana. Centered around the claustrophobic intrigue that was the court of Henry VIII, this historical drama presents a calculating Anne (Portman), who usurps her older sister Mary (Johannson) as the king's mistress and ultimately desires to be his new queen. A sophisticated and complex study of ambition and deception, The Other Boleyn Girl is a compelling and well-acted film made all the more powerful when one remembers the brutal fate of most of Henry's wives. Also starring Academy Award-nominee Kristen Scott Thomas.
