Vicky Krieps stars as Sissi, also known as the Empress Elisabeth of Austria, the latest historic royal woman to get biographical treatment in Austrian writer-director Marie Kreutzer's latest feature.
century pop songs, salty language, rude gestures and the like, it takes a look at the later life of Empress Elisabeth of Austria, aka “Sissi” , played by a suitably regal and linguistically dexterous Vicky Krieps , who speaks at least three different languages here including Hungarian, and also takes an executive producer credit . In fact, Krieps reportedly first proposed the project to Austrian writer-director Marie Kreutzer.
Kreutzer builds up an episodic but compelling portrait of a disaffected woman, but one with enough stoic wisdom to know that since she bought the ticket she might as well stay on the ride as long as she can.
Krieps’ wry, amused mien brings a strong sense of intelligence to the role, and her own imposing physicality perfectly conveys the regality of Sissi’s presence. The supporting characters are less well drawn apart from Ida Ferenczy , Sissi’s sister and emotional-support courtier, one of the few people with whom she can speak frankly and honestly. Their bond echoes the nuanced depictions of female relationships in Kreutzer’s other work.
