The Duchess

3

A well-styled period drama that makes little impact other than with its costumes

True, her non-costume drama outings have been hit and miss (Domino, anyone?), but surely Keira Knightley is bored? This time she’s Giorgiana, wife to Ralph Fiennes’ dastardly Duke and lover of Dominic Cooper’s dashing revolutionary.

The Making Of points out the parallels between this 18th Century aristo and her descendent, Princess Di. But the Winehouse-esque correlation between wig height and emotional health holds more fascination.
