Eine Monarchie im Krisen-Modus. Stephen Frears Film über Queen Elizabeth II. ist ein Biopic, das sich schlichtweg weigert, seinem Gegenstand etwa ehrfürchtig zu verfallen. Das hat sogar feministische Schärfe. Denn was hier beobachtet wird, ist nicht bloß der Zeitraum einer Woche nach dem Tod von Lady Diana, sondern ein ganzes System aus Klasse, Ritual und Geschlecht, das seine Frauen zugleich erhöht und verschlingt. Mit Helen Mirren und Michael Sheen. (3Sat, Wh.)

Sylvia Syms 1934 - 2023

I inherited one of the iconic #Carlsberg beer glasses from my parents, who lived in the Middle East & North Africa for 20 years. Where it came from no idea.

RIP Sylvia Syms. My strongest memory of her is in The Saint, especially 'The Fiction-Makers'. She was also the mother of Beatie Edney (The Highlander). An incredible filmography spanning 64 years. #SylviaSyms #TheSaint #50shadesofgrade

#RIP #SylviaSyms (1934–2023)

Alluring, capable #actress in show business for 65 years.

Notable #film roles include:

She's excellent as #DirkBogarde's initially unsuspecting wife in #BasilDearden's landmark 1961 drama VICTIM, the 1st major #British #movie centered on a modern-day #gay character.

She's just as good as The Queen Mother in #StephenFrears' #Oscar-nominated THE QUEEN (2006).

Her final big-screen role was as 1 of the leads in Paul Duddridge's 2018 #drama TOGETHER.
