Samantha Morton is incredible in The Serpent Queen, jeez louise.

Samantha Morton didn’t treat Daffodils & Dirt like some actor-with-a-side-project detour, and thank god for that. She told me she’d been carrying poems and songs around for 35 years, going back to her Nottingham rave days, and when Richard Russell called after Desert Island Discs to sample her voice, two hours later they were talking childhood, musical ghosts, and accidentally making a record.

“This wasn’t some late-career vanity project,” Morton said. “It was a muscle that had been hungry for decades.” We also got into The Serpent Queen, where Catherine de’ Medici gets to stare down the camera like Fleabag with a body count, and why the show works because it’s not just costume drama. It’s Succession with corsets.

I wonder when filmmakers will realize that building a narrative around breaking the fourth wall is as creative and entertaining as colon cancer.
