Queen of the Desert

In WWI-era Britain, industrial heiress Gertrude Bell (Nicole Kidman) passed on the quiet existence that a privileged and educated upbringing would provide, and the groundbreaking adulthood she spent venturing the Middle East as explorer and diplomat made her a figure of remarkable impact in the region’s geopolitics. Werner Herzog’s visually sweeping survey of an extraordinary life co-stars James Franco, Damian Lewis, Jenny Agutter, and Robert Pattinson as T.E. Lawrence. 112 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
