Synopsis
Cleopatra (1999) is a TV miniseries directed by Franc Roddam you can watch online on iFILM. The Egyptian queen is twenty years old and already in exile — her brother and sister seized the throne and pushed her out. She intends to take it back.
Leonor Varela plays Cleopatra less as a seductress and more as a tactician: pragmatic, adaptable, reading every room in a world run by someone else. Julius Caesar (Timothy Dalton) is her first major alliance. Mark Antony (Billy Zane) is something harder to define. The cast also includes Rupert Graves and an early appearance from Richard Armitage. Produced by Hallmark Entertainment with location shooting across multiple countries.
Franc Roddam made a period piece less interested in historical spectacle than in the mechanics of power — specifically what it costs a woman to hold it. Stream Cleopatra (1999) online on iFILM.
