Grace Of Monaco

If you are waiting for a pure biography in this movie - than this is not but if you are looking for a great entertainmentand a fairytale that is certain to make many critics mad but make a legions of females around the world to be gluedto the tv till the very last moment than - this is it.I tend to dismiss entirely movie critics recently as they tend to find a hole where it is and where is not and franklycan ruin any movie experience and if I followed their advices I would never see half of the absolutely fab chick moviesthat kept me warm through a many cold weekend nights.Similarly as with the movie Diana that is a movie that all girls I know watched infinite number of times, this movieis a keeper and something I will be coming back to watch over and over again. It is a story of a women thatis living a fairytale and we all are curious about those real-life fairytales however they are told.If it could be told better then may somebody try! but for now this is the best story of Princess Graceand I am not going to be neat picking.Nicole Kidman is absolutely stunning and she totally and believably conveys the golden cage syndromewith her absolutely fantastic facial expression down to the every muscle and at some point here and there her read convincing eyesthat look like she was just crying but has to put a happy face on to show and do her princess things but we all cansee that is not as pink and pretty as one could imagine.She is fabulously capturing that dual reality of a woman... "an every woman" that is trapped in the world she mighthave choose but when she was choosing it she did not realize what was to come and now it is just way too complicatedto just close the door behind.. She is showing with the mastery of the World's -best actress the very emotionsso many modern wife's are in and perhaps she was in and she can simply act it out the way it is believable.She is as beautiful and as graceful as ever. Fabulous acting and just full illusion of the person.When I was watching her, very quickly I forgot that it was Nicole Kidman on the screen and I was simplylooking at Grace Kelly.The glamour, the charm, the beauty.. it is all there.. visually stunning, nicely paced action thatgives a viewer time to reflect and is not about just action like so many modern movies that killthe moment by ending it too soon.I am not sure why this movie has not been released in the states yet. I am glad I bought the DVDand saw it, I hear that the UK and French versions are different from the US version and Iam dying to see the USA version to be able to compare. I am sure that there is tons ofpolitics around movie making and distribution and all that and the movie criticism as suchis part of that machine so it is great that nowadays one can just get a movie on DVD and Blu-rayand watch it regardless of the whole politics and that public opinion making machineand one can exercise one's own right to the opinion and watch it regardless ofsomeone telling you what you should and what you should not.The only painful thing is the price that one pays for watching this earlier then everyoneelse in the USA but that was also a kick to do it that way.

Grace of Monaco (2014) is a drama film directed by Olivier Dahan & written by Arash Amel. The film features Nicole Kidman as Grace of Monaco with a supporting cast including Frank Langella, Parker Posey, Derek Jacobi, Paz Vega, Roger Ashton-Griffiths, Milo Ventimiglia, and Tim Roth. The film is mainly an artistic fictional portrayal of the Grace of Monaco vs. a biopic portrayal. Here are the pros & cons of this film as I see it, I hope this helps you.Pros:1. Overall good acting2. Good plot & moral to the storyCons:1. Starts of very slow, I almost quit watching it, but glad I did not2. I understand that this is mainly a fictional story, but I always have a bit of a problem with films that don't make this very clear in the beginning of the film, as many people that are not well educated take them for fact and let them change their views of important issues & events based on ethos, for example, I can't believe how many people I have had to explain why Braveheart was mainly rubbish when it came to historical accuracy

Most are familiar with the story of Grace Kelly, the American Academy Award winning actress who married the Prince of Monaco. If the newspaper accounts at the time are to be believed, they lived happily ever after, a story-book ending for the fairy-princess.According to Grace of Monaco, all was not well in story-book land.In was 1961 and there was plenty of drama and palace intrigue behind the glitter and glitz of royal life.Grace Kelly, conflicted and dissatisfied with royal life, wanted to return making pictures, at least to star in Marnie, a role Alfred Hitchcock offered to her. Grace believed Ranier did not appreciate her. This may have been true. Ranier was preoccupied with his neighbor, France. France was fighting a war in Algeria and pressured Monaco, a small dot of a principality on the Mediterranean, to impose an income tax on its subjects and forward the revenues to France. Or else. Or else France would invade, take over Monaco and depose Prince Ranier. If this weren’t enough, it was discovered that the sister of Prince Ranier was betraying him by being a spy for France.A quote allegedly from Grace Kelly herself at the beginning of the movie summed it up: The story of the fairy tale princess is itself a fairy tale.The main performances are strong in this picture. Tim Roth plays Prince Ranier, regal, of course, but with a hair-trigger temper. In one scene a French diplomat was slurring Grace Kelly and Roth/Ranier cracked him across the face. Nicole Kidman plays Grace Kelly, who plays the role with appropriate ... um, ... grace.Some of the supporting characters are throw-aways. Frank Langella, who is ordinarily a fine actor, has a weak role in this movie, and yes, I’m afraid to say that Derek Jacobi’s role was wasted. But the performances and events they describe are enough to bear repeated viewing.

I didn’t know the story of Princess Grace. Nicole Kidman played her so well. It was nice to see what a compassionate, loyal and good person she was.

I found the tenacity shown by Princess Grace inspirational.

FILM... ottimamente interpretato e coerente con la situazione del Principato - scosso dell'allora presidente DE GAUL , che, come generale in seconda durante la guerra, ha fatto il massimo perchè la Francia...rientrasse fra le vincitrici della seconda guerra mondiale. Ma da PRESIDENTE era troppo autoritario, ( Vedasi i fatti dell'ALGERIA). = Preambolo) ma tornando al film......Il regista, si è fermato prima delli eventi tragici di Grace e figlia. Probabilmente ha fatto bene perchè le tragedie le hanno vissute prima. Poi non si dimentichi, che si tratta di ( principi sulla carta) e non di operai e pertanto poco rispettosi della coscienza umana................

Il film è ben curato, la trama ti prende, ma poi il film finisce in modo inatteso..... nel senso che non completa il racconto....e come se all' imporvviso mentre guardi un film in tv e va via la corrente..... e poi? come finisce?Peccato perchè la pellicola poteva essere migliore, il racconto avvince ma poi la fine è frettolosa..... Naturalmente una bellissima Kidman.

UN FILM CHE NARRA LA VITA DI GRACE KELLY MOGLIE DEL REALE RANIERI IN UN PERIODO IN CUI IL PRINCIPATO DI MONACO SFIORA LA GUERRA CON LA FRANCIA, E QUI VEDIAMO LA VITA DELLA SUA MOGLIE GRACE INTERPRETATA DA UNA NICOLE KIDMAN FANTASTICA E SPLENDIDA!!LO CONSIGLIOOGGETTO ARRIVTO IN OTTIME CONDIZIONI AD UN PREZZO ONESTO E SPEDIZIONE PERFETTA!

BR parfait.De très bons acteurs dont Nicole Kidman (lumineuse et aussi belle et gracieuse que Grace) et de très beaux paysages.Film excellent, mais pas du tout historique, surtout l'affrontement entre le Général de Gaule (présenté comme une caricature, c'est normal car il a "foutu" dehors les américains) et le Prince Rainier, qui contrairement à ce qui est dit dans le film a vu la défaite de Rainier (les français ou les compagnies françaises "exilés" à Monaco paient leurs impôts De plus jusqu'à l'avènement du Prince Albert, le gouvernement , dont le premier ministre, étaient de hauts fonctionnaires de l'état français.Il me semble aussi que contrairement à ce que narre le film, la Princesse de Monaco, n'avait fait aucun effort pour parler parfaitement le français (il suffit de visionner les nombreux documentaires sur la famille princière).En bref un joli conte de fées et surtout pas le reflet de la réalité.Nota : le livre Princesse Grace de Jeffrey Robinson qui l'a inspiré est lui totalement et bêtement anti-français et en discordance avec la réalité.

non l'ho visto; sto citando il giudizio di un mio amico che mi ha chiesto di prenderglielo
