Jackie

Pablo Larraín · 2016

Jackie (2016) follows Jacqueline Kennedy in the week after John F. Kennedy’s assassination, framed by a Life magazine interview at Hyannis Port. Directed by Pablo Larraín and starring Natalie Portman, it focuses on her psychological navigation of grief, legacy, and public performance — not as a biographical survey, but as a study in containment. Stéphane Fontaine’s cinematography, Mica Levi’s score, and Sebastián Sepúlveda’s editing sustain a tense, intimate atmosphere. The film received three Academy Award nominations, including Best Actress for Portman.

Spencer

Pablo Larraín · 2021

A psychological portrait of Diana, Princess of Wales, over three days at Sandringham in 1991. Directed by Pablo Larraín and written by Steven Knight, it uses Claire Mathon’s Super 16mm cinematography, Jonny Greenwood’s dissonant score, and Kristen Stewart’s physically precise performance to render Diana’s existential crisis as sensory experience — not biography, but embodiment.
