before i bought this movie i was told that it is nothing but garbo, garbo, garbo, i was not disappointed!
its opening holds aid the swedish sphinx for siveral minutes, opening with a gorgeous cessation up of that irresistable furrowed brow. from there is is a tour-de-force for her, her two well-known scenes, the touching scene and her final close-up which holds a special space in the hollywood archives.
also i was forewarned about john gilbert, his acting voice-totally miscast. i disagree. i liked him in the section, okay he over acts in places, but hey-he and garbo re make that charismatic chemistry that explodes in “Treasure” and “Flesh and the devil”, also it made me sunless to consider this was his last, sadly dying not long afterwards.

i was disappointed in two things which are muffed over by the garbo vehicle, the extras and the music.
somehow i dont believe Swedish peasants had a stong sure american tinted pronounce, such as the opening “I customary to be king of Sweden”.
The music is brutish in the “touching scene”. it gives the glowing sequence an almost funny aspect, best to silent your tv while it is on, garbo needs not say a thing to be heard.

What makes this bewitching is that it is the only scene that i glance her sob, when Gilbert dies in her arms, she buries her head, raised it with a tint of a slide in each, she leans over him as if to kiss him, instead covers passionately his face with a camouflage, and proceeds into the greatest final close-up i have ever seen, the scene switching from her walking towards the bow, the sailors shouting as they recede to coast, her touching the bow, the wind blown sails, and slowly the camera finds those haunting eyes-magnificent!
In my understanding Garbo’s greatest film, and her most personal. Among my other favorites are Camille and Ninotchka, but Queen Christina is her stand-out classic above all others. I have read that Garbo was personally exicted by and interested in this production to an extent unparalled for her, motivated by the Swedish (her homeland) history and the opportunity to play one of history’s most enigmatic figures, the queen who “abdicated her throne for admire” (though this portrayal is, of course, largely “Hollywoodized”–you can probably throw most expectations of historical accuracy out the window, impartial dwelling benefit and eye) .

Here is every aspect of the legendary Garbo in one film: the breathtakingly delicate woman, the amibiguous sexuality, the gigantic tragienne, the aloofness, the boyish playfulness, the restless longing to speed any enforced tableaux or expectations of others and live her maintain life by her contain terms, all things she had in current with Queen Christina. Here also is her warm, memorable final pairing with her venerable real-life amor and frequent co-star John Gilbert.
Two legendary scenes stand out: Garbo walking about, as if in a daze, memorizing the inn room in which she and Gilbert have unprejudiced spent the night (a scene almost lost due to censors), and of course the final, unforgettable closeup, the greatest closeup in the history of cinema–simply dazzling, as is the heartbreaking farewell to the dying Gilbert moments before. Not to be missed scenes also are Garbo running out of the castle into the bitter cool, rubbing snow in her face like a child, and the warm relationship with her elderly attendant, C. Aubrey Smith, who dotes on her like a daughter, combing her hair, tending to her every need with tender savor and protectiveness. –One of the overlooked subtexts in the film is the parentless Christina’s relationships with two major father figures, Lewis Milestone (another frequent co-star) as a palace official, who vehemently protests Christina’s decision to step down from the throne, along with the personal attendant, C. Aubrey Smith, with his benevolent, Ticket Twain face, caring for Christina in a motherly fashion, wanting only her happiness, wherever that takes her….
In life Garbo indeed appeared reclusive and peaceful, though I suspect she was simply a very petrified person who perhaps never fully comprehended what it was we all wanted from her. But here, in Queen Christina, actress and woman merge. Garbo opened up for us in a draw she had never before and would never again, fully showing us both her big strength and acute vulnerability, and the result is lively, a cherish forever, Garbo’s gift to us all, and we are all the beneficiaries.
