Things were not helping by her choice of partner. To say Prince Charles came with baggage is a severe understatement. His heart lie elsewhere and the marriage was little more than transactional. Her unhappiness after almost a decade in the circus is palpable in almost every scene. Director Pablo Larraín (Jackie and Ema) and Cinematographer Claire Mathon sell the bleakness with washed-out colours and grey skies.

With Hollywood typecasting in full swing, you know the type. Get me a grumpy old man, you mean J.K. Simmons? Kristen Stewart gets to strut her sullen stuff and she is perfectly cast. She effectively sells the unhappiness at the core of the People’s Princess. Not a bad job with the accent as well. Timothy Spall is also perfectly cast as Major Alistar Gregory. His ominous presence is unnerving.

In a nod to how oppressive and controlling that life had become for both Diana and her children William (Jack Nielen) and Harry (Freddie Spry) the simple act of going out for a junk food fix (in this case a visit to the ubiquitous KFC) is perceived as the ultimate act of freedom. That Di’s life arc ended so tragically only reinforces the pervading feeling of hopelessness and sorrow at the core of Spencer. She deserved better.

From two-time Academy Award® winning director Ron Howard and the team behind the worldwide success The Beatles: Eight Days a Week, comes a documentary celebrating the life of the beloved opera star Luciano Pavarotti.

PAVAROTTI is an in-depth, no holds barred look at the life, career and lasting legacy of the musical icon who sold over 100 million records in his lifetime. Dubbed “The People’s Tenor”, Pavarotti was the rare combination of personality, genius and celebrity. He used his prodigious gifts to spread the gospel of opera as entertainment, and something to be enjoyed by all music lovers.

Through the sheer force of his talent, Pavarotti commanded the great stages of the world, and captured the hearts of audiences everywhere. Featuring rare interviews with his family and colleagues, and never-before-seen footage, PAVAROTTI goes beyond the iconic public figure to reveal the man himself.
