The Palace

About This Movie

So, The Palace is this intriguing documentary that kind of sneaks up on you. It’s really just a dialogue—between the director's Dad and Nana—about this oddball British tradition of breaking into royal homes. The genuine warmth in their conversation is palpable, and you feel like you’re eavesdropping on something personal. The Super 8 footage from the 60s that overlays their chat is quite striking, giving it a nostalgic vibe that contrasts sharply with the modern world. There's a rawness to it, a sort of DIY quality that makes it feel intimate rather than polished. It’s a deep reflection on family history and those quirky bits of culture that we often overlook, all wrapped up in an engaging pace that keeps you hooked.
