Costume drama with Natalie Portman and Skarlett Johansson in the role of the two sisters caught in the eye of erotiko political clashes at the Court of King Henry the VIII.

The beginning of the XVI century, tyudorovskaya England. Young King Henry VIII (Bana), whose Spanish wife (Torrent) can not give birth to him heir to the estate comes hunt Boleyn family. Boleyn-Senior (Raylans) nauskivaemy his vile brother-in-law (Lewis), solves a career considerations podlozhit King under its beautiful daughter Anna (Portman), which is actually not totally against it. It is not sensible anything goes, but sovereign, falling from a horse, feels feelings of another kind Boleyn - Mary (Johansson), younger sister Anne, to an extreme positive at the same time having the eve married.

A screen adaptation of the best seller Philippa Gregory initially seemed a win-win project: two very hot to date actress in the role of opposing sisters - in fact, postav light switch camera - and the more you can do nothing. But, of course, it was not so simple. Chadwick, previously worked only in soap operas, sees the same movie as television, only richer and the effect - in other words, every ten minutes you have to cancel anything from bottom perspective on the background of clouds running.

The history of palace intrigues - naprashivayuschayasya to turn into soap opera - and so inevitably becomes: only given the compressed time of the events somewhere in the middle accounting scheme zahlebyvayuscheysya skorogovorkoy (six months have passed; mounting fore another year next scene, the first, another two years) , but everything that does not fit into two hours, to report in writing - in the final titer promelknet half of the British Encyclopedia.

Portman, dazzling in the two or three scenes where she needs to play smarter stervu, other times gives Meryl Streep - besides that, a) it was not Meryl Streep, b) Strip and there is no need, this story is not about the internal passion Anne Boleyn, and about her arse. Johansson same two hours pops eyes in the role of pseudo porugannoy virtues of dissolved curl - and few people in Hollywood would be worse came to the jumps. The idea of co-sponsors is clear: now we take Tyudorov, is a modern denote sexual conflict - and get Tom Stoppard. Cherta with two - has Savvich Valentin Pikul.
