As our Naomi Watts miniseries continues into its third week, we come to the biggest misfire therein: 2013’s reviled biopic Diana. With Watts taking on titular role, the film follows Princess Diana in her final days and her thwarted romantic relationship with surgeon Hasnat Khan (played bby Naveen Andrews). But in an attempt to avoid the salacious of headlines, the film became a bland failure and received much-earned bad reviews when it opened.
Vanity Fair chief critic and Little Gold Men cohost Richard Lawson returns this week to talk about the actress’s path to a second Oscar nomination and how Diana quickly took the wind out of those sails. Yet another example of Watts working with the right director at the wrong time, the film also suffers from an ambivalent approach to its subject by director Oliver Hirschbiegel. On top of the film’s dullness, we discuss how some felt its very existence missed the point of Diana Spencer’s death.
Topics also include the film’s symmetry to Nicole Kidman vehicle Grace of Monaco, KT Tunstall song cues, and teenage psycho twinks.
