Derided 鈥楧iana鈥 movie goes on general release
Print Edition
The film “Diana” starring Naomi Watts, which received a critical drubbing after its premiere in London earlier this month, gets its first European general release in Hungary today.
Purporting to tell the story of the late Princess Diana’s romance with UK-based Pakistani heart surgeon Hasnat Khan, the movie has been dismissed by Khan as “based on hypotheses and gossip.”
Some scenes depict incidents already widely reported in British media such as Khan being smuggled into Diana’s Kensington Palace residence on the backseat of her car covered in a blanket or Diana meeting his mother in Lahore in Pakistan.
Others are either less well known or purely imaginary such as Diana accompanying Khan to a jazz club disguised in a brown wig, and bedroom scenes.
The film generated controversy even before its London premiere after Watts appeared to claim that Diana had in some way granted approval for the film from beyond the grave.
“I felt like I was spending a lot of time with her. There was one particular moment when I felt her permission was granted,” the actress told Britain’s Mail on Sunday newspaper.
The British-Australian actress later stormed out of an interview with BBC radio, apparently offended by the line of questioning.
Directed by Germany’s Oliver Hirschbiegel, best known for his 2005 film “Downfall” about the last days of Hitler, the film has been officially ignored by the royal family.
Khan, 54, continues to work in Britain and is also setting up a charity heart hospital in Pakistan.
He said he had no intention of seeing the movie.
