Obviously arranged marriages were a part of, and in fact are still a part of the lives of the inbred royalties of Europe, bu the character had no substance whatsoever, merely walking onstage and off into the mists of wherever.
That the royal family themselves or the police made no examination of the body is bizarre, although Giamatti's character did hold her hand, so presumably she had taken an unmentioned drug so powerful as to stop her heart, chill her blood and soon allow for an antidote.
Mind you, in my opinion, her acting didn't suffer from her dying...
The policeman being fair was my response to your opinion that he was obsessed with status. I didn't notice that unless you meant his comment that the prince was untouchable within his palace (was it a palace?).
If you liked it, then fine, I really couldn't figure why anyone had described it well at all.
While not as laughable as Little Children, its certainly on my forgettable list for this year.
