Firebrand
Synopsis
In blood-soaked Tudor England, Katherine Parr, the sixth and last wife of King Henry VIII, is named Regent while tyrant Henry is fighting overseas. Katherine has done everything she can to push for a new future based on her radical Protestant beliefs. When an increasingly ailing and paranoid King returns, he turns his fury on the radicals and Katherine soon finds herself fighting for her own survival.
With exceptional performances from Alicia Vikander and Jude Law, Karim Aïnouz’ English-language debut takes full advantage of its acclaimed cast in this visceral and gritty portrayal of the paranoia, misogyny, and dysfunction rife in Henry VIII’s court.
