“The marriage of Princess Diana (Stewart) and Prince Charles (Jack Farthing) has long since grown cold,” reads the official synopsis. “Though rumors of affairs and divorce abound, peace is ordained for the Christmas festivities at the Queen’s Sandringham Estate. There’s eating and drinking, shooting and hunting. Diana knows the game. But this year, things will be profoundly different. Spencer is an imagining of what might have happened during those few fateful days.”
Directed by Pablo Larraín (Jackie, Neruda, Lisey’s Story) and written by Oscar nominee Steven Knight (Dirty Pretty Things, Eastern Promises, Locke), the movie also stars BAFTA nominee Timothy Spall (Mr. Turner, Secrets & Lies), Jack Farthing (Poldark, The Riot Club), Sean Harris (Mission: Impossible films, The Green Knight), and Academy Award nominee Sally Hawkins (The Shape of Water, Blue Jasmine).
