Edward II. Born 25/04/1284 and died 21/09/1327. He reigned as King for almost twenty years. Yes, he was probably gay and lived a very unhappy forced married life.
In the film, which starts quite provocatively, it displays an over zealous want to promote his homosexual feelings. I do not believe in the biased story that was recorded but, I thought that the film was very well put together and extremely well acted. The feelings of emotions are displayed through facial grimaces and contortions that are worthy of any good actor.
The presentation is very much Shakespeare on a bad night and includes 20th century bits and pieces which all add to the films allure, so don't get me wrong. It's worth a view.
