Movie Reviews of The Last King - The Power and the Passion of Charles II
Movie Review: King Charles II
Summary: 4 Stars
I love history especially British history. I am a parent of a King Charles Cavalier Spaniel. This is one reason why I ordered this DVD. The dogs were beloved by Charles I and II,an eddit was issued by Charles II that the Cavaleirs be aloud anywhere, even Parliment. I was impressed that the DVD took a few days to arrive. I will be ordering from the seller AGAIN.
Summary of The Last King - The Power and the Passion of Charles II
Studio: A&e Home Video Release Date: 04/27/2004 Run time: 188 minutes Rating: NrIt's not always good to be king in this fascinating BBC/A&E historical drama, featuring a complex performance by Rufus Sewell as the exiled British monarch who returned to a volatile, post-Cromwell England in the 17th century. Pressed to forgive the enemies who killed his father, Charles II takes the throne and finds himself squeezed from all sides by vicious power brokers, his vengeful mother (Diana Rigg), a manipulative mistress (Helen McCrory), dubious advisers, a contrarian best friend (Rupert Graves), and his bewildered Portuguese wife (Shirley Henderson). Problems with the Plague and Charles's own, restless libido further complicate family and political dramas, but beneath the king's operatic tenure are visible strains of progressive government: Charles, after all, ushered in an early era of democracy in England. The Last King's sharp script never slows, but it's the cast's intense performances that bring royal intrigues to life. --Tom Keogh
