Event Description

Phantom Thread’s Vicky Krieps gives an exhilarating performance as an imperious empress in this irreverent period biopic.

Don’t expect a kitsch fashion plate portrayal of ‘Sissi’, Empress Elisabeth of Austria, renowned for her beauty and tiny waist. Here, she is reimagined as a subversive figure, with modern glitches that pull at the surface of the story. In 1877, at 40, Elisabeth finds maintaining her flawless public image hard. Her political role at court is perfunctory; the family of her unfaithful husband, Franz Joseph, dislike her, her attendants body shame her. Furious, hungry for new life, she leaves Vienna to reclaim the purpose and excitement of her youth.
