“Don’t worry. He’s what we want,” exclaimsdeposed despot Elena Vernham (Kate Winslet) to her last loyal aide Herbert Zubak (Matthias Schoenaerts) of a citizen who has come to their assistance in The Regime finale. “A beautiful perfect idiot who will do anything for me.”
Debuting March 3, the six-part realpolitik satire, created and executive produced by Succession alum Will Tracy, sees Oscar and Emmy winner Winslet return to HBO in an often hilarious role as the vainglorious Elena. Traversing a year in the life of a crumbling authoritarian regime, the timely The Regime also stars Hugh Grant, Marth Plimpton, Oscar nominee Andrea Louise Riseborough and Guillaume Gallienne.
The finale, “Don’t Yet Rejoice,” written by Tracy and directed by Jessica Hobbs, brings The Regime to an unexpected conclusion. But, as Tracy himself notes in the intro below and as his script reveals, nothing is ever what it seems.
So, one interpretation of this show is that it’s about the stories a certain kind of leader tells themselves in order to survive psychologically and politically. The authoritarian as author. A person creates a reality – which is really no reality at all – but which must be treated as “real” and “true” because of the way it makes this person feel, and, in turn, the way it makes her supporters feel. Until, eventually, the scope of this unreality ripples outwards into the really real world of geopolitics in dangerous ways.
The finale of the show, “Don’t Yet Rejoice,” is where we see the consequences of all this so-called storytelling. The bubble has burst. The leader is forced to survive in the world
