Action "Princess of Monaco" describes events that took place in Monaco palace in the late 50's - early 60-ies of XX century. The period witnessed the marriage Rainier Grimaldi on the Oscar-winning American Grace Kelly, her rejection of filming in Hollywood and political crisis in the state. Directed by Olivier Dahan looks like a history of turning into a princess actress romantic flair, leaving viewers to only one chapter of the tale - household, painful.
Eyes Princess of Monaco by Nicole Kidman does not radiate love and happiness and incredible fatigue, and often appear on the cheeks tears. It is often capture close-up, close enough that the image blurs and washable, and is no longer clear that the story sounds from the screen, who this Grace Kelly.
Here it is - the progressive lady dealing with children or charity, here it is - a shining stunning costumes at parties, where we discuss the political affairs of her new home, here it is - the welcoming arms Hitchcock movie star, here it is, that in most cases - tired woman.
Straightforward in his statements and accustomed to show emotions, it seems like a stranger in the court, and the people, and even her husband. But for the sake of his children and is ready to change: learn French, learn secular manner, to accept the eternal employment prince and even abandon cinema forever. What, on the other hand, the actress opens up new opportunities - to play the role of a perfect princess and become the epitome of a fairy tale.
The image of Grace Kelly in Olivier Daan turned faded, a little tabloid. Workshop and subtle play Nicole Kidman in this perspective was not marketable. Refinement actress handy except for demonstration embroidered dresses, elegant costumes, hats and diamonds.
On the way to the climax (and final) film - Speech at the ball of the Red Cross - Grace Kelly as a real princess, accompanied by good assistants, Bishop and Count, ready to support it, to listen, to help, to which it can address with any question and to come to any time of the day and night cry.
They told her cunning solutions to curry favor with the common people: dress up dress with floral print and bring the French soldiers in the cart products, charmingly crossed over the fence or put on an apron and help stallholder at the market. Grace Kelly, connecting its charm, maybe even help her husband get out of the political crisis. But even if you're a princess, a woman has to try on other challenging roles: a good mother, wife, the creative person, a foreigner. Hard, straining, Grace Kelly cope with them, but if she brings it wishes to meet? The sad reality seeps through the luxury of palace life.
Even if the main character flashes on the screen incorporeal ghost in beautiful dresses, her husband Rainier (Tim Roth) and do as if does not exist. Actor, embodied so many charismatic characters, hiding in the corners of the frame, as if not knowing where to start a conversation.
Indispensable happy ending puts the final point and expected. This princess, in which she bravely and boldly voiced his ideals, go unheeded everything, even the guests of the Red Cross Ball. Charles de Gaulle speaks with admiration: "American Aphrodite! "- If he listened to her or just admire?
The director of "The Princess of Monaco" missed something really important, why is not the story looks to not fabulous, but simply unreal. Royal House of Monaco spoke out against the film, announcing that the picture is far from the truth. Unfortunately, not even a screen.
