Elizabeth becomes a deeply flawed but sympathetic woman unable to make the decisions to properly lead the state. Frears structures the piece like a trial, allowing the viewer to render his own verdict from pieces that can lead to only one conclusion. Henri Matisse used to use a similar device of leaving details blank for the viewer to fill-in mentally, thus creating a more personal and powerful connection than the complete canvas could have achieved...
...week in Le Monde, Redeker wrote that one website condemning him to death included a map showing exactly where he and his family lived, along with photos of him and his workplaces.

But there's little chance of that, says Henri Barkey, a former U.S. State Department official who now teaches at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania. He says the U.S. is too tied up elsewhere in Iraq to open a new front in the north. More likely, Turkey will be permitted to take matters into its own hands, though not necessarily...
