Diana

Many films were made on the theme of Princess Diana's life during her lifetime. I don't remember any of them being good. But so be it, the tabloids needed to be illustrated in some way. This new biopic isn't any better either - it just fits in the storyline of those new trends where it tells, for example, about one week in the life of Monroe. Grace was still relatively stable, but Diana was not. Why waste her name on a romance about a divorced Christian woman and a Pakistani surgeon whose mother didn't give him her blessing? (2017.07.15)

Who wanted to achieve something with this film? It seems like someone noticed that Diana was being forgotten, so they decided to make a film about how she was actually a wildly in love girl who turned into a chaser and used paparazzi to make her admirer jealous. It's an incredibly poor attempt at an artistic film, achieved through nonsensical camera movements, along with 50% unnecessary scenes. It's as if Oliver Hirschbiegel had been watching Terrence Malick's recent films for a long time and concluded that there's no other way to film except slowly and senselessly. As much as I like Naomi, her terrible accent and bloodless acting really didn't impress me at all. Sad... (2014.01.26)
