On Friday evening, 6 TIC members braved the rainy and damp weather to gather at Cinecitta to see Firebrand. The film, the first English film by Brazilian film-maker Karim Aïnouz, was a period drama inspired by the lives of King Henry VIII and his last wife, Katherine Parr. Alicia Vikander stars as Katherine, and an almost unrecognizable Jude Law plays Henry VIII. The story follows the Queen and dove deep into the life of a woman married to a tyrant.
