God Save the Whole Damn Empire

So much speculation continues to surround the death of Lady Di that we long to forget how she died, and strive to remember how she lived.  As if the cloud hanging over the British Empire seemed to pass with the marriage of the DOC's - Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (Will and Kate) another [cloud] edges its way in.  As if to say, London, you will always reside amidst the storm - hence the poor weather.  ( bad joke)  Perhaps the gods have shunned the British Empire for quite some time.  I've heard of a few scandals involving this particular royal family. (sarcasm)



Enough of my pseudo rant - on to the issue at hand.  What we have here is a documentary that will premiere at Cannes on Friday.  Already facing harsh criticism from British critics - here's a great summary by blogger Sharon Knolle of MF (Movie Fone).







 via Sharon Knolle:

An as-yet-unseen documentary about Princess Diana is causing outrage for what it claims to show: a photograph of the late princess as she lay dying after her car crash in a Paris tunnel.

The film 'Unlawful Killing,' by actor and filmmaker Keith Allen, alleges that Diana predicted her own death by "accident" four years before it happened and that the royal family and other British officials have conspired in an elaborate cover-up.

The 90-minute film, which Allen calls "the inquest of the inquest," is reportedly backed by Mohammed Fayed, whose son Dodi also died in the infamous crash. British cinemas have refused to show the film due to its graphic content, but it will be screened this Friday at Cannes.
Watch the trailer for the film, which features interviews with Fayed and Piers Morgan, after the jump:

"Screening this film in Cannes for the world's media will be both exhilarating and terrifying for me," Allen tells the London newspaper The Guardian.

"[The movie] is not about a conspiracy before the crash, but a provable conspiracy after the crash," Allen says. "[It's] a conspiracy organized not by a single scheming arch-fiend, but collectively by the British establishment –- judges, lawyers, politicians, police chiefs, secret services, even newspaper editors."
