Other Boleyn Girl [French]

A gripping historical romance detailing the Machiavellian machinations of sisters Mary and Anne Boleyn (Scarlett Johansson, Natalie Portman) in their individual attempts to steal the heart of King Henry VIII of England (Eric Bana). Johansson and Portman are superb, and Bana makes for a dashing 16th-century monarch. Justin Chadwick directed from a script by Peter Morgan, who adapted the best-selling novel by Philippa Gregory. Jim Sturgess, Ana Torrent.
