Rome Film Festival applauds Cate and Golden Age ROME (AFP) — Cate Blanchett, in shining armour astride a white horse, surged onto the screen Friday at the Rome film festival for the European premiere of "Elizabeth: The Golden Age." Shown out of competition at the second annual RomeFilmFest, the film directed by India's Shekhar Kapur reveals the queen at the height of her power when she faces down the Spanish Armada while also coming to terms with her own vulnerability as an unmarried, childless woman. The historical drama offers a second chapter in the life of the "Virgin Queen" after a first installment, also starring the Australian actress, in 1998. "There will be" a third, Kapur told a news conference. Kapur's first "Elizabeth," the story of the ascension to the throne of Henry VIII's young daughter, won Blanchett an Oscar nomination. "It would have been perverse" to refuse to play in the sequel, she said Friday. "It's undeniable that Elizabeth I is an extraordinary woman in history." And unlike Shakespeare's plays, "there's no prescribed text" for the story of Elizabeth I, "so it's open to interpretation," Blanchett said. "On a prosaic level you've got a popular film of a holy war, and then you have a kernel within it of a modern dilemma, a woman facing the aging process and feeling isolated," she added. The 52-year-old queen rejects a succession of blue-blooded suitors when the swashbuckling Walter Raleigh (Clive Owen) comes along with inspiring tales of his voyages to the New World. But Elizabeth must quickly and resolutely overcome her emotions to lead her country in battle against King Philip II of Spain.
