The most critically acclaimed film of 2006 is a fascinating study of the collision between inherited power and elected power, between tradition and modernisation, and between the Queen's instincts for privacy and the modern media demands for pubic expressions of emotion. Excellent to teach, with its superb screenplay, brilliant performances, and its masterly use of archive material.
