U.S. title: Deception
King Henry VIII wanted a male heir. His first wife didn't produce one. He broke with Catholicism and divorced her to marry the title character, an aristocrat.
Historical drama which drags at certain points. It has some good moments, though, and the sets and costumes are impressive. The film has very little in the way of historical analysis or insight, but as a drama of superficial human passions it is well-made.
Rating: 55
