Description

In the archaeological find of a century, the remains of King Richard III — presumed scattered over 500 years ago — were discovered beneath a parking lot in Leicester in 2012. The search had been conceived and motivated by an amateur historian, Philippa Langley, whose passion and unrelenting research were met with skepticism. THE LOST KING is the inspiring true story of a woman who refused to be ignored and who took on Britain's most eminent historians, forcing them to rethink the legacy of one of the most controversial kings in England's history. A tale of discovery, obsession, and stolen glory (both then and now), THE LOST KING is a magical adventure illuminated by one woman’s growing sense of purpose. Directed by Stephan Frears. Stars Steve Coogan, Harry Lloyd, and Sally Hawkins. PG13. “It’s a tale made for the movies, and a character perfectly suited to the great Hawkins, who specializes in wispy-voiced women with cores of steel.” Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times “Sally Hawkins is a gift, to directors and audiences alike.” Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
