A propos du livre

Revue de presse

'Although the film involves a man overcoming a serious disability, it is neither triumphalist nor sentimental. Its themes are courage (where it comes from, how it is used), responsibility, and the necessity to place duty above personal pleasure or contentment... The King's Speech is an altogether more significant and ambitious work than Stephen Frears's admirable The Queen of 2006 and far transcends any political arguments about royalty and republicanism.' GUARDIAN \'Where lies its success? Let's start with the script, by playwright David Seidler, a model for transforming history into an approachable blend of drama and wit. For a film about being horrendously tongue-tied, Seidler's words are exquisitely measured, his insight as deep as it is softly spoken.' EMPIRE 'By the film's end I was in tears: a pathetic critic-thing whimpering in the half-dark, knocked into resistlessness by the power of storytelling.' FINANCIAL TIMES 'All this, amazingly enough, is a true story - told here with grace, good humour and heart.' --Total Film

Biographie de l'auteur

A Londoner by birth, writer David Seidler developed a profound childhood stutter. As a result, George VI, the stammering King who had to speak, became a boyhood hero, role model, and inspiration for this film. Seidler's credits include Tucker: The Man and His Dream, Quest for Camelot, and Onassis: The Richest Man in the World (Writers Guild of America Award winner). Seidler now resides in Santa Monica, California.
