If I had to pick a song I’d least expect to appear in the trailer for a film about Margaret Thatcher, it would be “Our House” by Madness. I hope this is a harbinger of a film that will not be the standard staid biopic.
The fact that Iron Lady is written and directed by women — respectively, Abi Morgan and Phyllida Lloyd — gives me hope, too, that the film will offer some real insight into what life and work were like for Thatcher as a woman in a field utterly dominated by men.
