The Iron Lady (26-Dec-2011)
Director: Phyllida Lloyd Writer: Abi Morgan Music by: Thomas Newman Producer: Damian Jones Keywords: Drama, Biography Biographical film examines the life and career of former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher.
ABSTRACT An elderly Margaret Thatcher, gripped by dementia and an inability to come to terms with the passing of her husband, reflects on elements of her storied past with an imagined vision of her now-dead partner. From there, viewers are shown dramatized scenes from Thatcher's upbringing, entry into the male-dominated realm of politics, and historical service as Prime Minister, all tied together to craft a tale of an elderly Thatcher ultimately learning to cope with her present circumstances two decades after resigning from the highest elected office in Great Britain. Won Academy Awards for Best Actress and Best Makeup.
