As an early 'actuality' film from 1896, *Roi et Reine d'Italie* serves as a straightforward historical record rather than a narrative work. It captures a royal procession, documenting the existing power structures of the Italian monarchy without attempting to challenge them. The film lacks the narrative structure needed for character development or storytelling that reflects multiple aspects of identity. It provides a snapshot of the social and political hierarchies of 19th-century aristocratic life. Since the footage is non-narrative and brief, it does not engage with modern concepts of representation or individual ability to act. It remains a purely observational artifact of its time.
