Decades after her untimely death, Princess Diana continues to conjure a sense of mystery and elegance, as well as the archetype of a contemporary fairy tale gone horribly wrong. The Princess of Wales overcame the corrosive challenges that came along with her unprecedented rise to fame and served as a symbol of both the widening fissures that are weakening the British monarchy and the destructive machinery of the press. This is because the Princess of Wales is a symbol of both of these things. This hypnotic and audaciously revealing documentary takes a distinctive formal approach, allowing the story of the People's Princess to unfold in front of us in a way that has never been seen before. It is entirely crafted from immersive archival footage, and it is devoid of any voices that provide a retrospective perspective, which would otherwise serve as a distraction.
