The Queen Blu ray

The Queen takes audiences behind the scenes of one of the most shocking public events of recent times ? the sudden death of Princess Diana in August of 1997. In the immediate aftermath of the Princess? passing, the tightly contained, tradition-bound world of the Queen of England (Dame Helen Mirren) is abruptly brought into conflict with the slick modernity of the country's brand new, image-conscious Prime Minister, Tony Blair (Michael Sheen). The result is an intimate, yet thematically epic, battle between private and public, responsibility and emotion, custom and action ? as a grieving nation waits to see what its leaders will do.
