'THE BROKEN CROWN' TRAILER
SPANISH FIGHT FOR THE CROWN
Another historical movie to look forward to this year (it already played in Spain earlier this spring) is THE BROKEN CROWN (La Corona Partida)
set in early 16th century: following the death of Queen Isabel (Michelle Jenner), her widow Fernando de Aragón (Rodolfo Sancho) enters in an open war with his tyrannical son-in-law, Felipe el Hermoso (Raul Merida), lord of Flandes, who wants to be the new king of the kingdom of Castilla above all. In the middle of the conflict his wife Juana (Irene Escolar), Fernando's daughter, turns in the centre of attention caused by her unstable mind state. Trying to preserve the kingdom for their 
descendants, Fernando asks for help from Cardinal Cisneros in order to make a deal with Felipe! But can Juana mediate between the two men
of her life to prevent a war between the kingdoms that annihilates the legacy of her beloved and deceased mother, or will her growing insanity be the perfect excuse to start the war?

The Broken Crown looks full of royal drama. Intrigued by the insanity theme being there as well. Mental health is something even today many avoid discussing.
ReplyDeletethat movie actually connects ISABEL TV series and CARLOS, RAY EMPERAROD TV series. It was supposed to be a TV movie serving as a bridge between the two epic series, but they released it into theatres in the end
DeleteLooking forward to seeing "Cezanne et Moi" if it ever makes it here to Edmonton!
ReplyDelete'tis French, so I'm guessing it should? Do you get all the French music and programmes there?
DeleteMy nephew's last name is Partida. I never connected the translation to 'broken' before. Now I'll probably always think that when I hear his last name.
ReplyDeleteyou mean his surname?
DeleteYes, we call it last name here, but I suppose it is called surname in many other parts of the world.
Deleteyou have so many names over there :) We have just the name and the surname, I'm very special for having two surnames, which is very rare indeed... don't know where we picked it up
DeleteYes we do. It really irks me when people give their kids more than one middle name. Like, really? One is more than enough!
Deleteand you don't even need that one either :)
DeleteI think I would love this Dezzy !
ReplyDeleteabsolutely! Is Isabel airing in Chile?
DeleteRoyal dramas are so back. I'll try to add these to my list. Haha.
ReplyDeletethey should always be back if you ask me
DeleteLooks good some nice costumes.
ReplyDeleteindeed!
DeleteRoyals everywhere lately. I'm the Queen of my house so I guess I can't complain.
ReplyDeleteindeed you can't, milady :)
DeleteWow. The Broken Crown looks intense.
ReplyDeleteintensity got the crown broken LOL
DeleteI miss watching french films so I definitely look forward to see Cezanne et Moi. The film will most likely not reach us here so I will wait until they are available on Dvds.
ReplyDeleteyes, it probably won't play much around the world
DeleteReminds me of my favorite Spanish song, Corazon Partido.
ReplyDeleteAlejandro mi some Sanz :)
