Leave it to modern auteur Yorgos Lanthimos to inject some absurdist excitement into an 18th Century England period piece. 

Every new bit of The Favourite that we see has only more excited for some heightened bickering between Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz for the affections of the Queen, seemingly played as a kooky gem by Olivia Colman.

See the latest trailer here, then look for The Favourite in limited release on November 23rd, then worldwide in January of 2019.
