First look at Helen Mirren as Golda Meir in thriller Golda

November 18, 2021 by Gary Collinson

With filming on Oscar-winning director Guy Nattiv’s new film Golda now underway in the UK, a first look image has been released showing Helen Mirren in the role of Golda Meir, Israel’s first female Prime Minister.

Written by Nicholas Martin (Florence Foster Jenkins), Golda is described as a ticking-clock thriller follows “the intensely dramatic events, high-stake responsibilities, and controversial decisions that Meir – also known as the ‘Iron Lady of Israel’ – faced during the Yom Kippur War in 1973. Her actions, in impossible circumstances, would ultimately decide the fate of millions of lives.”

“Golda Meir was a formidable, intransigent and powerful leader. It is a great challenge to portray her at the most difficult moment of her extraordinary life. I only hope I do her justice!”

“I have long been an admirer of the great Helen Mirren” said Nattiv, who previously won as Oscar for his short-film Skin which was then developed into a full-length feature starring Jamie Bell. “She has melted so brilliantly into Golda Meir’s character with incredible talent, intelligence, depth and emotion, doing justice to the richness and complexity of this incredible woman”.

Along with Helen Mirren, Golda features a cast that includes Camille Cottin (Call My Agent), Rami Heuberger (Schindler’s List), Ellie Piercy (Black Mirror) and Ed Stoppard (Youth). Expect the film later next year, presumably around awards season.
