Corsage

About

It is the year 1877 and Elisabeth of Bavaria is celebrating her fortieth birthday. How does she feel now, a woman whose youthful looks defined her, yet are fading with the advancing years? What kind of private life existed for a sovereign, whose position in society was defined by her husband rather than by her opinions? In the same way her tight-fitting corset confines her body, the restrictive way of life at the Viennese court is stifling her personality. This costume drama about a restless woman longing for freedom and emancipation was screened in Cannes’ Un Certain Regard section and brings us a quick-witted reinterpretation of history. The myth of Empress Sissi returns, this time played by Vicky Krieps, who deservedly took home the award for Best Performance.
