“Spencer,” directed by Pablo Larran, has premiered at the Venice Film Festival, and Kristen Stewart is already garnering praise for her depiction of Princess Diana.
Stewart spoke on the late royal’s unique charm and effect at the event.
When asked why Diana had “power over people’s imagination and emotions” during a press conference, Stewart responded she believes “it’s simply something she was born with.”
Stewart also spoke about how Diana’s surroundings influenced her.
“She was anxious to expose some truth in a setting immersed in the energy of — you know, as an outsider, I can say the Brits typically have the stiff upper lip attitude — it’s the go-to generalization,” she explained. “And I believe that for her, I feel like the ground shakes and you don’t know what’s going to happen when I see images of her, even if it’s just a brief tiny video clip of her.”
The film “Spencer” will be released in theaters on November 5th.
