You know the premise of this film about one of the most fascinating feminine personalities of XIX century.
Knowing the premise, your expectation may be high one.
The good script, the cinematography, the irony - with too feminist nuances -, the feeling to see a parody and less a biopic ( and you are just right ) are the fair answer for this.
But the fascinating piece remains Vicky Krieps. Her acting is the inspired solution for 40 age old Elisabeth of Wittelsbach , living between public pressure and maturity, ignoring and, in the last part, saving apparences , decided to not accept her new age and being free , maybe in eccentric manner . And reminding for look, tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna.
Accuracy ? Not exactly . Because it seems a protest against last half century versions , except , maybe, the nice reference to Ludwig by Luchino Visconti. The liberty of games , from smoking to the imperial fake beard and , sure, the end remplacing September 10, 1898 in eccentric manner is more than provocative.
A good point - the relation between Empress and Ludwig of Bavaria, remembering , again, Ludwig by Luchino Visconti.
A film with sparkles of delight and taste of parody. The nice use of the image of lonely, sad, powerful woman , with touches of XXI century more than XIX. For this,the impression about a film selecting its public .
Beautiful, seductive, nice and offering the answers, many fantasiests , to old suppositions.
