The King

In David Michôd’s brooding historical drama ‘The Kin’g, Robert Pattinson steals his scenes as the flamboyantly cruel Dauphin of France - a sneering foil to Timothée Chalamet’s stoic King Henry V. Though his screen time is brief, Pattinson’s eccentric performance - complete with a deliberately exaggerated French accent - injects a jolt of dark humour into the 2019 film’s otherwise sombre tone.
