As the sixth wife of the Catholic British monarch Henry VIII (Jude Law), the Protestant Catherine Parr (Alicia Vikander) tries to influence her husband and, by extension, the rest of the kingdom. When Henry, sick and paranoid, returns from the battlefields, he continues to drift away from reality. Consumed by anger, he targets radicals (Protestants). He even goes as far as executing Anne Askew, a childhood friend of Catherine. Filled with fear, she fights to save her marriage and, above all, her own life."Firebrand" offers a contemporary and feminist perspective on the palace intrigues of the Tudor period and the final years of the infamous King Henry VIII. Director Karim Aïnouz ("The Invisible Life of Eurídice Gusmão") breathes new life into this oppressive era with the help of actors Alicia Vikander ("The Green Knight," "Tomb Raider," "The Danish Girl") and Jude Law ("The New Pope," "Sherlock Holmes," "The Nest").
