Rating73%
In 1558, the Roman Catholic Queen Mary (Kathy Burke) dies of a cancerous tumour in her uterus, leaving her Protestant half-sister Elizabeth (Cate Blanchett) as queen. Elizabeth had previously been jailed for a supposed conspiracy to murder Mary but has now been freed for her coronation. The film shows Elizabeth being courted by suitors, including Henry, Duc d'Anjou (Vincent Cassel), the future King Henry III of France and Poland, whom she rejects, and urged by William Cecil, 1st Baron Burghley (Richard Attenborough) to marry, which, as he states, would secure her throne. Instead, she has a secret affair with her childhood sweetheart, Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester (Joseph Fiennes). The affair is, however, no secret from Cecil, who makes it clear that a monarch has no private life. Elizabeth deals with various threats to her reign, including Thomas Howard, 4th Duke of Norfolk (Christopher Eccleston); her Catholic cousin, Mary, Queen of Scots, who conspires to have her murdered; Mary's mother, Mary of Guise (Fanny Ardant), who brings French troops into Scotland to attack Elizabeth's forces when they invade.

Ancien dessinateur, Victor est aujourd'hui un sexagénaire désabusé. Son mariage avec Marianne bat de l'aile et il est désintéressé et dépassé par ce monde moderne trop technologique. Pour lui remonter le moral, son fils Maxime lui paie une soirée organisée par la société de son ami Antoine. Cette société propose à ses clients de revivre l'époque de leur choix, en mélangeant artifices théâtraux et reconstitution historique. Certains clients, fortunés, choisissent ainsi de passer une soirée avec William Faulkner, Adolf Hitler ou avec des aristocrates au XVII siècle. D'abord réticent, Victor accepte quand Marianne le met à la porte. Il opte alors pour replonger dans la semaine la plus marquante de sa vie, celle où il rencontra le grand amour, quarante ans auparavant, le 16 mai 1974, dans le café La Belle Époque à Lyon. Dans cette « mise en scène », Marianne est incarnée par Margot, une comédienne qui vit une relation compliquée et tumultueuse avec Antoine. Ce dernier, ancien scénariste, est très pointilleux et ne supporte aucune approximation de la part de ses collaborateurs. Peu à peu, Victor va se prêter au jeu, jusqu'à se perdre dans ces souvenirs « reconstitués ».
