Meryl Streep highlights the Iron Lady’s human qualities at premiere
”I think, the thing that I noticed when I was making the film, is how fiery hot on both sides the feelings were, people wanted to hold her as this indelible icon or they wanted to regard her as a monster,” she said.
“To me the only interesting thing is to look at Margaret Thatcher as if she were a human being, which after all she is,” she added.
Anthony Head, who plays cabinet minister Geoffrey Howe, also described the film as a personal, rather than political, story.
”It’s not a biopic even though some people seem to think it is, it’s not about the rights or wrongs of what she did it’s about her pursuit of power, where it lead her and how it isolated her and then what happened when that power was taken away,” he said.
Also attending the premiere at the BFI on London’s South Bank were Jim Broadbent, who plays her husband Denis Thatcher and Richard E. Grant who takes on the role of Michael Heseltine.
The Iron Lady opens in the UK on Friday January 6.
