Description
From Martin Scorsese & the makers of Gosford Park and The Departed, comes the story of Queen Victorias early rise to power. From an object of a royal power-struggle in to her romantic courtship and legendary marriage to Prince Albert, Emily Blunt (Devil Wears Prada) gives a stunning performance as The Young Victoria.
Packed with drama, romance, political intrigue, breath-taking cinematography and featuring an outstanding British cast including Jim Broadbent, Mark Strong, Paul Bettany and Miranda Richardson and Rupert Friend (Pride & Prejudice) THE YOUNG VICTORIA will captivate British audiences in March 2009.

Like cheese and chalk, Jean-Marc Vallee (director) and Julian Fellowes (screenwriter), together managed an excellent portrayal of the early life of Victoria and Albert.
Keeping the personal dynamics of devotion and love at the story's core, they pull of what could otherwise have been a difficult and stale head-chamber piece into a lovely unfolding. Surprising for the genre, they manage to capture a beautiful intimacy, a friendship and romantic passion of the two key protagonists, without resorting to crass voyeurism and explicit sexual content. Hence, its "G" rating in Canada, PG, I believe for the U.S.
The cinematography of Hagen Bogdanski, who I first noticed in the Oscar award winning German production, The Lives of Others (2007), is clever without being obtrusive.
My only regret is that end seemed truncated. A long real-time sequence would have been a tad more satisfactory than the compressed time vignettes alluding to Albert's early death and Victoria's 60-year sorrow which followed. Did they go over budget, or encounter other creative restrains, I wonder?
