Becket

Review

The story tells of the tempestuous friendship between King Henry and Becket. The King appoints his trusted companion to the esteemed position of Archbishop of Canterbury, believing his loyalty will give him control over the church. However Becket takes his new duties seriously and his devotion to God soon brings him into direct conflict with the State and his lifelong friend. Unavailable on any format for 20 years, Becket makes its worldwide premiere following extensive restoration aided by Martin Scorsese's Film Foundation.
