The story of the circumstances of Henry V's becoming king and the unfolding of the Battle of Agincourt.
A dramatization of a historical episode during the Hundred Years' War that allows itself many poetic licenses, while being inspired by the Shakespearean works. Well written and with a good display of great performances, The King can be enjoyed by a wide audience. Hal's internal struggle is very well brought to life by Timothée Chalamet, one of the great talents of the current generation of actors.
The presence of Robert Pattinson, as a Briton in the role of the French Dauphin, in antagonism with the Frenchman Timothée Chalamet in the role of the British king is a delightful surprise, well thought out and pleasantly received.
