GRACE OF MONACO (2014)

Starring Nicole Kidman, Milo Ventimiglia, Paz Vega, Tim Roth, Parker Posey, Frank Langella, Derek Jacobi, Geraldine Somerville, Roger Ashton-Griffiths and Nicholas Farrell. Directed by Olivier Dahan.

Set in 1962, six years after her celebrated Wedding of the Century, 'Grace Of Monaco' tells of a year in the life of one of the twentieth century's most iconic women - Grace Kelly - as she strived to reconcile her past and her present, a yearning for a return to the big screen with her newfound role as a mother of two, monarch of a European principality and wife to Prince Ranier III. While contemplating overtures from Alfred Hitchcock to return to her career in Hollywood, Grace found herself plunged into a personal crisis when Rainier's modernisation of an ailing Monaco was halted by French President Charles de Gaulle – who tried to reclaim the principality for France by force.
