À propos de ce film

The year is 1682. Sabine De Barra (Ms. Winslet), a strong-willed and talented landscape designer, fulfils her chosen vocation in the gardens and countryside of France. One day, an unexpected invitation comes: Sabine is in the running for an assignment at the court of King Louis XIV (Mr. Rickman). Upon meeting with her, the King's renowned landscape artist Andre Le Notre (Matthias Schoenaerts) is initially disturbed by Sabine's distinctive eye and forward-thinking nature, but eventually chooses Sabine to build one of the main gardens at The Sun King's new Palace of Versailles. Under pressure of time and as she charts her own course, Le Notre comes to recognize the value of "a little chaos" in Sabine's process.
While pushing herself and her workers to complete the Rockwork Grove as an outdoor ballroom, Sabine negotiates the perilous rivalries and intricate etiquette of the court. As she challenges gender and class barriers. Sabine forges a surprising connection with the King himself, and wins a vote of confidence from the King's brother, Philippe (Academy Award nominee Stanley Tucci). As she gradually comes to terms with a tragedy in her past, Sabine's professional and personal interactions with Andre bring out honesty, compassion, and creativity in both of them. 2014 BRITISH BROADCASTING CORPORATION, LITTLE CHAOS LIMITED, 2014.

Notes et avis

It was entertaining because of the beauty of the scenery. There are beautiful fountains like that at the palace. I like period pieces but they are rarely accurate because of the story telling of movie making. Different strokes for different folks hey! For me better than watching violent horror about say Pablo Escobar, sometimes you need a little escape from reality. The Kardashians don't do much for me.

"comedy" its got one joke, and fails utterly as a drama.. lets call it comedy

So slow so soppy, cringe worthy dialogue and to much kate winslet
