Just Visiting

Louis XIV's court - especially when they were contemplating and working on such a grandiose "folie" like Versailles - was not as grey, dull and depressing as is the general atmosphere of this film. The intrigues, the verbal brawls, the affairs, the dancing, the effervescence and the partying of the time are not conveyed in "A little chaos". The only sparkle comes from Stanley Tucci - no surprise there - who plays Philippe d'Orléans, gay brother of the Sun King. Disappointing.

Grossly historically inaccurate which would be OK if it had a compelling story. It does not. Asked to believe that a woman would have ever been invited to design a garden at Versailles, this potentially inspiring feminist fairytale is completely undermined when she sleeps with her boss. Alan Rickman can't seem to decide what he wants this movie to be and so it ends up being nothing much.
