A Glass of Water
London at the time of the War of the Spanish Succession. Queen Anne's followers are divided into two factions: one side, led by Lord Bolingbroke, is pushing for peace talks and a quick reconciliation with France; the other side, led by the influential Duchess of Marlborough, is in favor of continuing the war. Queen Anne herself is still undecided, and so a game of intrigue unfolds at court between Bolingbroke and Marlborough, each trying to win the queen over to his side.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a classic drama of intrigue, relying on theatrical conventions and a meticulously recreated period atmosphere. It explores the mechanisms of power through personal relationships, where politics hinges on private sympathies and chance.
Those who tire of action will appreciate the elegant, chess-like game at court, where the fate of a war is decided over a glass of water. What lingers after viewing is the sense of history being shaped by mundane human frailties. — MovieFinder Editorial
