Fantastic thriller

Rating: 10/10 (27 September 2003)

"Elizabeth" is a great film. OK, it does not stick to the history and how it really happened but that's not an issue here. It does give a astonishing portrait of a young woman being confronted with responsibility of running an empire.
The film hasn't got one boring or over-blown moment. There are so many classic lines in this film delivered with such a power that it touches you as if you were involved yourself. The fantastic cinematography is complementing amazing costumes and a
beautiful English landscape and original locations. I have it on video and see it every couple of months to give myself that great experience of being in the Golden Age England once again.
