W.E. (15) UK 2011 Dir: Madonna 1hr 59mins With: Andrea Riseborough, Abbie Cornish, Oscar Issac, Jeremy D’Arcy
1920s, London. American Wallis Simpson (Riseborough) winds up in England, married for a second time to a businessman and mixing in the highest social circles when she first meets the future King Edward VIII. 1998, New York. Wally Winthrop (Cornish), the young wife of a successful, high society psychoanalyst develops an obsession with Wallis Simpson and the intensity of her romance with King Edward VIII, escaping from her unfulfilling life and loveless marriage with daily visits to the auction house where the Duchess of Windsor’s belongings are about to be sold. Madonna strikes a delicate balance between the romantic aspirations of the women and their strength and resilience. Working with a world-class team of collaborators, the film is visually sensuous. A work of great maturity, W.E. sees Madonna starting a welcome new chapter in her filmmaking career.
“Riseborough and Cornish confirm their status as two of cinema’s most talented and exciting young actors” LONDON FILM FESTIVAL 201 1
