The Lion In Winter (DVD, 2003) Region 4.
A fearsome father. A scheming mother. Three sons battling for attention. Youre cordially invited to attend their seasonal family reunion. But this is 1183, an era of barbarians, and this family is history. In the waning years of his life, but no less brutal for it, King Henry II (Golden Globe and Emmy nominee Patrick Stewart, Moby Dick, King of Texas) is holding Christmas court at Chinon, during which hell announce the blood successor to his throne. Assembled for this event are his equally calculating wife, Eleanor of Acquitaine (Emmy winner and Oscar nominee Glenn Close, Fatal Attraction), imprisoned for ten years by her husband for a political coup of her own; his shamelessly flaunted mistress, Alais (Julia Vysotskaia), and her venomous brother, King Philip of France (Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Velvet Goldmine); and Henrys three sons, Prince Richard the Lionhearted (Andrew Howard, Band of Brothers), who cant fathom the depth of leadership, the shallow Prince Geoffrey (John Light, Dracula 2), and the luckless and bumbling Prince John (Rafe Spall, The Calcium Kid). What the three siblings share is a gift for treachery. After all, they were taught by masters. Richard, Geoffrey, and John prepare to engage in their own brand of deception to stake their claim. But as this unique celebration gets underway, it degenerates into an emotional gauntlet for everyone. More than a temperamental war of wordsthose alone will be sharp enough to draw bloodit becomes an exorcism of deep-rooted failures and long-held resentments as pretensions and inner demons are shrewdly stripped away. Before the holiday is over, not only will a marriage, a love affair, a family, and an empire be in jeopardy, but lives as well, as Henry mercilessly wields the authority that has made him the greatest and most dangerous power in a thousand years. James Goldmans Academy Award-winning screenplay, based on his own Broadway play, is now a television event from Hallmark Entertainment. Intense, darkly humorous, and wickedly ironic, The Lion in Winter is played as it should beto the hiltby a stellar cast headlined by the incomparable Patrick Stewart and Glenn Close.Br215-020722
