The King

Ottawa Premiere on Friday October 25th!

A wayward prince and reluctant heir to the English throne has turned his back on royal life and is living among the people. But, when his tyrannical father dies, he is crowned King Henry V and is forced to embrace the life he had previously tried to escape. Now the young king must navigate the palace politics, chaos and war his father left behind, and the emotional strings of his past life — including his relationship with his closest friend and mentor, the ageing alcoholic knight.

From the Sundance, New York Film Critics, Melbourne International Film Festival, and Australian Film Institute award winning director of Animal Kingdom!
Starring Oscar nominee Timothee Chalamet, Golden Globe nominee Joel Edgerton, Golden Globe nominee Ben Mendelsohn, and Canadian Screen Awards nominee Robert Pattinson!
