My favourite film of the year

Rating: 10/10 (18 December 1998)

A film that opens with Protestant heretics being burnt at the stake and makes you feel like you're there too. Elizabeth combines the best of historical drama with the passion and colour of Bollywood. Why is it the best film of 1998? For everything: acting, costumes, cinematography, script. The performances of Cate Blanchett and Geoffrey Rush are particularly outstanding.
