In 1998, lonely New Yorker Wally Winthrop (Abbie Cornish) is obsessed with what she perceives as the ultimate love story: King Edward's VIII's abdication of the British throne for the woman he loved, American divorcée Wallis Simpson. But Wally's research, including several visits to the Sotheby's auction of the Windsor Estate, reveals that the couple's life together was not as perfect as she thought. Weaving back and forth in time, W.E. intertwines Wally's journey of discovery in New York with the story of Wallis (Andrea Riseborough) and Edward (James D'Arcy), from the glamorous early days of their romance to the slow unraveling of their lives in the decades that followed.\n\n-----\n\nFilm portant sur la relation amoureuse entre Édouard VIII et Wallis Simpson, une femme divorcée. Edouard VIII est le seul monarque britannique à avoir abdiqué volontairement. Son désir de marier Wallis Simpson alors qu’il était chef de l'Église d'Angleterre provoqua une crise constitutionnelle majeure. L'Église d'Angleterre interdisait le remariage après le divorce.\n\n\nAmazon.ca\n\n\nIt was a love story that amazed and scandalized the world: because royal protocol barred him marrying a divorced commoner (and an American, to boot), Edward VIII abdicated the British throne in 1936 in order to be with \"the woman I love.\" That story is brought to the screen in\nW.\/E., along with a parallel 1990s tale of a woman (Abbie Cornish,\nBright Star) fascinated by the saga as she moons about the halls of Sotheby's in anticipation of an auction of the royals' stuff. This is the project dreamed up by Madonna for her narrative-feature directing debut, and you can presume that Madonna identifies with the lives of the royals, living their dramas out in a fishbowl for all the world to see. The 1930s scenes are full of period fluff and a certain amount of satisfying royal intrigue (crisscrossing at points with\nThe King's Speech). Perhaps the film makes too many excuses for the future king (the real Edward VIII was something of a nitwit, and at that delicate moment in history it was probably a good thing he departed the scene), ably played here by James D'Arcy. But at least his American lady, Wallis Simpson, is embodied in lively fashion by Andrea Riseborough (from\nBrighton Rock), who is fully convincing as a subject of fascination. The draggy modern scenes don't fare as well, although it is curious that Madonna seeks to make an out-and-out art movie instead of a crowd-pleasing slice of entertainment. Apparently she saves that impulse for her music.\n--Robert Horton\n\n\nFrom the Studio\n\n\nMadonna’s Academy Award® nominated film (2011 Best Achievement in Costume Design, Arianne Phillips) delivers an elegantly stylish and beautifully dramatic look into the lives of two fragile yet passionate women intertwined across the decades. In 1998, New Yorker Wally Winthrop (Abbie Cornish) becomes enamored with what is believed to be the greatest romance of the 20th century – King Edward VIII’s (James D’Arcy) surrender of the crown for the woman he loved, the chic and charismatic American, Wallis Simpson (Andrea Riseborough). Through a series of secret letters, Wally discovers the lifetime of romance Edward and Wallis shared together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 774212002540\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0774212002540\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e DVD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ID Shop.ca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45931019829282,"sku":"5G-OTKI-XH5X","price":6.94,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0889\/9428\/3554\/files\/41UTRbjiXsL.jpg?v=1783573508","url":"https:\/\/kastor.club\/fr\/products\/w-e-w-e-bilingual","provider":"Kastor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
