Academy Award winner Jodie Foster and international sensation Chow Yun-Fat star in this epic retelling of a classic, true-life story.
When English schoolteacher, Anna Leonowens, arrives in the exotic land of Siam to teach the children of King Mongkut, her Western sensibilities clash with the ruler's Eastern ways. The tension builds as Mongkut learns that outside forces are conspiring against his regime. With the political intrigue set to explode, Anna and the King must become allies in a daring fight to save Siam from dangerous enemies bent on destruction.
In the tradition of Braveheart and The English Patient, comes Anna And The King, a sweeping masterpiece filled with passion and adventure.

) I loved this 'chick - flick'! It was visually stunning, and a great story. The acting is first class, and a great addition if you enjoyed 'The King and I'. Get it!

I saw this film on television and really loved it. I just had to have a copy of the DVD myself so that I could watch it over and over. Great film with nothing that you wouldn't be ashamed to let the kids see!

ANNA AND THE KINGReview created: 24/07/09

I just adore this film and never tire of watching. Had it on VHS many years ago now upgraded to the DVD. The fact that it is a true story is always a plus and one can sense the coming together of two entirely different people and cultures. The ballroom scene and the ending are my favourite pieces enhanced with the narration from the Prince at the beginning and especially the ending -a good relaxing film.

a fantastic filmReview created: 20/01/09
by:
) This film is very moving and is a really heartfelt drama, concerned with portrale of the feelings of love, joy, isolation and romance. Set in Siam when Anna, an English lady goes to become a teacher for the royal children, at a time when Siam faces threats both from its neighbouring countries and from the Imperial powers of Britain. A fantastic film, well worth watching!

Another For My CollectionI was thrilled to see this title available on e-bay, having never seen it at the cinema. As Jodie Foster is my ultimate screen legend, I am compiling a catalogue of all her films, some if which are only available on video. Always a favorite from years gone by, the tale and sumptuous costumes do not disappoint. A story that will never date can live on in the family library.

Anna and the King (DVD 2000)Having been on holiday to Thailand and Vietnam I thought that it would be a good idea to see the true story of "The King and I" , I was not disappointed . The scenary was stunning , the acting was first rate , the whole experience was special . I even watched the film through with the Director's comments and was transfixed , even if a little annoyed that the sets had totally conned me . ie not filmed in Thailand . Anyone who likes a good love story with epic backdrops should get hold of this film , it was great
