Queen Victoria is just such a wonderful monarch and certainly the most popular of the entire royal line. This two DVD set tells the story of the life she endured as a teenager and her troubles with her mother. Her attempts to find a suitor and the constant battling between families of that Victorian dynasty.
The acting is very good and there are some interesting performances from Diana Rigg and Patrick Malahide, although the show is stolen by the central characters playing Victoria and Albert.
This was an intensely moving film and even though it is essentially a documentary, one wonders what exactly Queen Victoria would have thought about it had she been alive today. The music by Alan Parker is needless to say, enchanting. A true masterpiece and not to be missed.
