The biopic focuses on the last two years of her life after she divorced from Prince Charles.Her relationships with heart surgeon Hasnat Khan and Dodi Fayed are also narrated.The screenplay is based on Kate Snell's 2001 book Diana: Her Last Love, and was written by Stephen Jeffreys. Robert Bernstein and Douglas Rae are the producers of the movie for Ecosse Films. British-Australian actress Naomi Watts plays the title role of Diana.It also provides the details about how the Princess and Khan met.
CRITIC VIEW.
German film director Oliver Hirschbiegel. with Das Experiment and the Oscar-nominated Downfall this time gives you a less insight rather the Opulent and lavish display of wealth and coziness which DIANA enjoyed life to the fullest is given a miss in this so called Biopic of hers.
Instead we get a preview of her private emotional tragedy of the men in her life Dr.Hasnat played by Naveen Andrews and Dodi Fayed .
Naomi Watts who plays"the most illustrious woman in the world" – has put her acting skills and credibility on the line of fire
A pathetic romance of two people from different zones of universe is something which was personnell to the Diana’s life is recreated with less emotion and more towards lust and fatal attraction of her lonely days.
Diana and Khan had their intimate moments which is shown more subtle and less glossy. This weird biopic is a real disarray.
The typical style in which movies are made about such celebrated persons is totally absent in this enterprise.
Diana was a living legend, her short span of life had amalgamation of humanity serve up to the much needy and she had billions of aficionado to her captivating personalty,her biopic like such is not a justice to tribute her.
In this terribly dull way of showing her bad phase of life is surely to be given a thumbs down
