The Regime viewers: Are you seeing the Trump parallels, too?
When asked by The Hollywood Reporter what one of the show’s messages might be, Frears was blunt: “Don’t vote for Trump.”
The Regime debuted on HBO in March, with Winslet leading a cast that includes Matthias Schoenaerts, Andrea Riseborough and Guillaume Gallienne, with guest appearances by Martha Plimpton and Hugh Grant.
In HBO‘s The Regime, Kate Winslet stars as a foreign dictator who rules with an iron fist and crushes any sign of dissent — and her governing style might seem familiar to American voters, director Stephen Frears says.
