Queen Christina of Sweden (Liv Ullmann) abdicated her throne in 1654. After converting to Catholicism, she travels to Rome to prove herself to the Pope. The Pope is dying. Cardinal Azzolino (Peter Finch) is assigned to evaluate her.
Liv Ullmann is a charismatic beauty. It is a small movie despite its grand locations. I struggle to figure out Christina and her interior personal story for the first hour. This version takes her disputed sexuality to be celibacy. In this way, this is more about the power dynamics within marriages at this time and her religious conversion. It speaks to the changing power dynamics between the sexes in the 70's.
