Princess Diana's New US Trailer Found 'The Princess' Document

"A hollow and tormented marriage gives the British media and its public little else to talk about." HBO has unveiled a new US trailer for the immersive documentary The Princess, by filmmaker Ed Perkins. This premiered at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival earlier this year and already opened in UK cinemas last month (see the UK trailer). Princess Diana's story is told exclusively through archival footage to create a narrative about her life and death. It also shows how bigoted and unwavering the public attitude towards the monarchy still is. Intensely emotional, The Princess is a visceral immersion into Diana's life under the constant and often intrusive gaze of the media spotlight. The documentary film unfolds as if in the present, allowing viewers to experience the overwhelming adoration, but also an in-depth examination of Diana's every move. "It makes you feel like part of the problem as an observer looking at all this footage," I wrote at Sundance. I highly recommend this paper as a study of how the public participates in their own version of evil.

Here is the official US trailer (+ poster) for Ed Perkins' documentary The Princess, straight from YouTube:

The documentary film The Princess from Oscar-nominated director Ed Perkins tells the story of Princess Diana exclusively through contemporary archival footage that creates a bold and immersive narrative of her life and death. By turning the camera back on ourselves, the film sheds light on the profound impact she had and how public attitudes towards the monarchy were, and still are, shaped by these events. < em>The Princess is directed by acclaimed British documentary filmmaker Ed Perkins, the films Garnet's Gold and Tell Me Who I Am before, as well as numerous documentary projects. Produced by Jonathan Chinn and Simon Chinn. This originally premiered at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival earlier this year. It already opened in UK cinemas in June. HBO will stream The Princess on HBO Max starting August 13, 2022.
