In Vicky Krieps’s new film, “Corsage,” she plays the Empress Elisabeth, who, with her husband, Franz Joseph, ruled the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the late 19th century. “Sissi was a little in touch with something ahead of her time,” Krieps says.
“Someone told me there’s a painting here that looks just like me,” the actor Vicky Krieps said not long ago, as she climbed the marble stairs of the Neue Galerie, on Fifth Avenue. She wore cowboy boots, a pink Lacoste sweatshirt, a green velvet blazer, and a fuzzy white beret that had belonged to her grandmother; two feathers hung, dream-catcher style, from one ear. Upstairs, she considered the Klimts. “Definitely not that one,” she said, pointing to “The Woman in Gold.
As in “Phantom Thread,” in which Krieps played the muse-antagonist to Daniel Day-Lewis’s couturier, viewers of “Corsage” spend a lot of time looking at Krieps’s waistline. The Empress was famous for her wasp waist, rumored to be as slim as sixteen inches, which she maintained with orange-slice dinners and leather corsets. At Kreutzer’s urging, costume designers avoided the fuss and flounce of the eighteen-seventies in favor of sleeker styles, but the corsets stayed.
In retrospect, Krieps thinks that spending so much time in a corset was a mistake. “You can’t cry, you can’t really get angry,” Krieps said. “Yes, that’s now in the film—but the film is also about her rebelling, having the breath of air you want her to have.”
