Golden Age, Porcelain Throne

Continued from page 1

Published on October 11, 2007

Details:

Directed by Shekhar Kapur. Written by Michael Hirst and William Nicholson. Starring Cate Blanchett, Clive Owen, Geoffrey Rush, and Samantha Morton.

Subject(s):

Elizabeth: The Golden Age, Shekhar Kapur, Cate Blanchett, Clive Owen, Geoffrey Rush, Samantha Morton

This will be rightfully damned as ludicrous nonsense, fluff puffed into "substance" by a filmmaker who has found a franchise in a legend, while Blanchett, Owens, and Geoffrey Rush (who returns as Sir Francis Walsingham, the queen's right-hand man) play it so straight you're even more tempted to laugh out loud at every other scene. This is Rocky Horror Picture Show territory. But, really, you must do the time warp again.
