Queen Elizabeth II was the most photographed, the most loved and talked about, spied upon, praised, criticized, popular woman on the planet. All over the globe and in every moment of her long life (which came to an end at the age of 96), people have always wanted to watch her through a peephole, discover new things about her, get to know her better, connect with her and understand her.
“Portrait of the Queen” offers an original portrayal of the story of The Queen from a totally new perspective: through the most intense, amazing, revealing photographic portraits of her, as shared by the extraordinary photographers who accompanied and often created the image of the British monarchy itself.
Directed by the award-winning photographer Fabrizio Ferri, “Portrait of the Queen” is based on the best-selling book “Elisabetta II: Ritratto di Regina” by Paola Calvetti. Special focus is given to each of The Queen’s most intense, intimate, faithful portraits, symbols of 20th century history, contextualized by the photographers who portrayed Her Majesty – Brian Aris, Jason Bell, Julian Calder, Chris Levine, David Montgomery, and John Swannell.
In addition, sincere, spontaneous comments from British subjects alternate with conversations featuring photographer Emma Blau; Valentino Creative Director Pierpaolo Piccioli; actress, author, philanthropist, and model Isabella Rossellini; and Susan Sarandon, the actor and activist…all of whom met the Queen in person and give viewers a more private, intimate reflection on the role, obligations, and complexities of being a monarch.
