Spencer – Slotfilm

This year we close the festival with a stunner of a film: Spencer. Star actress Kristen Stewart takes the legendary role of Princess Diana in this new film from award-winning Chilean director Pablo Larráin (No, Ema, Jackie).

Spencer is an imagining of what could have happened during those few fateful days around Christmas in the early 1990s. The marriage of Princess Diana and Prince Charles has long cooled down. Though rumors of affairs and a divorce abound, peace is ordained for the Christmas festivities at the Queen’s Sandringham Estate. There is eating and drinking, shooting and hunting. Diana knows the game, but decides her loveless marriage to Prince Charles isn't working out and she must deviate from the path charted for her as a future queen.
