A Kaleidoscope of Bed Intrigues

Rating: 10/10 (16 December 2018)

The Favourite contains a humorous kaleidoscope of bed intrigues. The movie dramatizes small, humorous stories about regal concerning who can be welcomed to the bed room of Queen Anne. The Bed is a central metaphor (passion, sickness, death, sleep and etc.) of this tragicomedy. Bravely told, in the bright shadow of satire, we see how the abuse of power and, at the same time, the power of love, affects political decisions. The historical framework of the film allows the viewers to enjoy the stiffness and hypocritical attitudes of Puritanism.
