After the documentary \u2018Letters From Baghdad: A Film about Gertrude Bell,\u2019 created by Zeva Oelbaum &amp; Sabine Krayenb\u00fchl, the narrative feature with Nicole Kidman playing the titular role, portrays a compelling portrait of this extraordinary woman.<\/p>\n<p>The life of the precocious daughter of a wealthy industrialist family from northern England, was a series of firsts. Gertrude Bell was the first woman to receive highest honours in Modern History at Oxford; the first person to climb all the peaks of the Engelh\u00f6rner range in the Swiss Alps; the first woman to do a solo journey into the uncharted Arabian desert (travelling by camel for 1500 miles across Central Arabia in 1914); the first female Intelligence officer employed by the British Military.<\/p>\n<p>The female Lawrence of Arabia drew the borders of Iraq, helped install its first king and established the Baghdad Museum of Antiquities. Gertrude Bell further advocated for Iraqi self-rule and openly criticised colonial policy.<\/p>\n<p>As much gifted as she was in politics, she was as ill-fated in love. Her first suitor mysteriously went missing, whereas her second love belonged to another. Gertrude\u2019s relationship with Henry Cadogan (James Franco), to whom she referred to as her spouse, remained lost to history for almost a hundred years. Whereas the letters between Bell and Charles \u201cRichard\u201d Doughty-Wylie (Damian Lewis) between 1913 and 1915 have been preserved as part of her collection.<\/p>\n<p>However, Bell was compensated with strong friendships. For instance, T. E. Lawrence (Robert Pattinson) politely refused British Knighthood out of respect for Gertrude and their shared feeling that Britain had reneged on his promise of territorial integrity to King Faisal (Younes Bouab). Furthermore Gertrude Bell was fondly remembered by Bedouin, Persian and Arabic leaders as one of the foreigners who understood them best.<\/p>\n<p>After being forgotten in the history books for so long, thanks to the cinematic medium, the Victorian adventurer reappropriates her rightful place amongst human beings.<\/p>\n<p><b>Technical: B+<\/b><br \/>\n<b>Acting: B+<\/b><br \/>\n<b>Story: A<\/b><br \/>\n<b>Overall: A-\u00a0<\/b><br \/>\n<b>Written by: Chiara Spagnoli Gabardi<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title: Queen of the Desert Director: Werner Herzog Cast: Nicole Kidman, James Franco, Damian Lewis, Robert Pattinson, Jay Abdo, Jenny Agutter, David Calder, Christopher Fulford.
