“Conversation with” at the 20th Marrakech IFF, interview with actor Willem Dafoe Bénédicte Prot
“Firebrand”, interview with director Karim Aïnouz
Karim Aïnouz: “Stories like Katherine Parr’s were always there and we just didn’t know because people with the power, the ones that write history, chose to not tell them”.
Almost two years after premiering at the Rome International Film Fest, the 2023 edition, “Firebrand – L’Ultima regina is out in italian cinemas with Vertice 360.
Directed by Brazilian director Karim Aïnouz and starring Alicia Vikander as Katherine Parr, the sixth and final wife of Henry VIII, and Jude Law as the king , the film is based on the novel Queen’s Gambit (now “Firebrand“) by Elizabeth Fremantle.
“Firebrand“ explores Katherine Parr’s life, her role as queen, and her attempt to navigate the dangerous court of Henry VIII. She is portrayed as a passionate advocate for religious change and a loving stepmother to Henry’s children.
As also Wikipedia quotes, if it hadn’t been for Katherine Parr, there would be no Queen Elizabeth in the history of the world so the question of why we’ve almost never heard of her is consistent.
The answer to this question is simple for Karim Aïnouz: “Stories like Katherine Parr’s were always there and we just didn’t know because people with the power, the ones that write history, chose to not tell them”.
Plot
In blood-soaked Tudor England, twice married, accomplished, and educated Katherine Parr (Alicia Vikander), reluctantly agrees to become the sixth wife of the tyrannical King Henry VIII (Jude Law). Her consent to marry him carries great personal risk, given that her predecessors are either vanquished, beheaded, or dead. When Henry appoints her as Regent, the nation's ruler during his absence when he departs to fight overseas, he lays a dangerous path for her. Henry's courtiers, suspecting she's sympathetic to radical Protestant beliefs that have taken root in the kingdom and are a threat to their power, scheme against her and cast doubts upon her fidelity to the increasingly ailing and paranoid King. Once Henry returns to England, his courtiers convince him to turn his fury on the nation's radicals, including Katherine's childhood friend Anne Askew, who becomes one of the scores of people convicted of treason and burned at the stake. Horrified and privately grieving, Katherine finds herself under ever-increasing scrutiny and suspicion. Knowing that even a whisper of scandal might lead to her downfall, Katherine must unleash her own scheme to fight for survival.
