Movies @ Kips Bay Library presents: The Queen

 Helen Mirren, Michael Sheen, James Cromwell,  Sylvia Syms, Paul Barrett  Directed by Stephen Frears 97 minutes; 2006 
 

An intimate, revealing and sometimes humorous behind-the-scenes glimpse at the interaction between Her Majesty Elizabeth II (Helen Mirren) and Prime Minister Tony Blair (Michael Sheen) following the death of Princess Diana. The two struggled to reach a compromise between what was a private tragedy for the Royal family and the public's demand for an overt display of mourning.
