Becket
“An age of rampant lusts, abandon, runaway passions. An age brought bristling to life by two of the most exciting stars of our time!”
DramaHistory
Thomas Becket, Henry II's longtime advisor, finds his friendship with the debauched king corroding when he is unwillingly appointed as Archbishop of Canterbury in an attempt to gain absolute loyalty from the Church.
VIBE
A grand, theatrical clash of titans. This film feels like watching a Shakespearean tragedy unfold, full of weighty pronouncements and simmering resentments. It's a battle of wills between church and state, steeped in historical gravitas and moral complexity.
