The Favourite (2018)

The Favourite is Yorgos Lanthimos's darkly comic period drama set in the court of Queen Anne, where two cousins scheme against each other for royal favor amid all the powdered wigs and poisonous whispers. Joe Alwyn appears as a foppish courtier caught up in the seduction games, and the 1 scene collected here shows why his role turned heads. It's a brief but memorable slice of skin from a film that treats sex as just another weapon in the fight for power.
