The Kingmaker

2019・美國・101 minutes

Known as the "Iron Butterfly", Imelda owns 3,000 pairs of shoes and is 90 years old. She is the widow of Philippine dictator Marcos. She became the first lady in 1965, representing the most powerful and controversial family in the Philippines, with blood and wealth on her hands. After the Marcos regime was overthrown in 1986, she fled overseas. After many years, she miraculously led her family to gradually return to the top of the political arena! The director of "The Queen of Versailles" spent four years getting a deep glimpse into her heart and fantasy fairy tales. This is the remnant of the dictatorship and the main reason why dictators can come back. How can we not have similar feelings?
