Oscar winner Alicia Vikander and nominee Jude Law star in a revisionist royal portrait of the last wife of Henry
VIII. In a blood-soaked island kingdom, accomplished Katherine Parr (Vikander) becomes the sixth wife of King
Henry VIII (Law) at great personal risk – all her predecessors are vanquished or dead – and when Henry leaves
her to rule during his absence overseas, he lays out a dangerous path for her. Suspected of sympathy to radical
Protestants, Katherine comes under increasing scrutiny from Henry on his return, and must unleash her own
scheme for survival. Adapted from Elizabeth Fremantle’s novel The Queen’s Gambit, Karim Aïnouz’s lavish
