À propos de ce film

Madame Sabine De Barra (Kate Winslet) is an unlikely candidate for landscape architect of the still-to-be-completed Palace of Versailles. She has little time for the classical, ordered designs of the man who hires her, the famous architect Le Nôtre (Matthias Schoenaerts). However, as she works on her creation, she finds herself drawn to the enigmatic Le Nôtre and forced to negotiate the perilous rivalries and intricate etiquette of the court of King Louis XIV (Alan Rickman). But Sabine is made of strong stuff; her honesty and compassion help her to overcome both the challenges of her newfound popularity, and an unspeakable tragedy from her past, to win the favour of the Sun King and the heart of Le Nôtre. BRITISH BROADCASTING CORPORATION, LITTLE CHAOS LIMITED, 2014.

Notes et avis

I was hoping this movie would be a delight to watch, beautiful garden landscape and historical context. Very dull I'm afraid, with most of the film focusing on mud, depressing music and child loss. Not inspiring and very slow. Shame really.

It was the soundtrack that caught my imagination. A lovely story that has brought alive the one place I so want to visit the Gardens of Versailles!! The lovely Kate Winslet at her best once again with the gorgeous Matthias Schoenarts.... Where's been hitting!!!!

A pleasant historical chic flik, which I will be watching again without my husband's running commentary
