The movie "Corsage" is a period drama about Empress Elisabeth of Austria, who
is struggling with her midlife crisis and feeling unfulfilled in her life. The
film follows her restless journey to find purpose and love, while also exposing
the ridiculous pressure she faces as a woman in her position.
The lead actress, Vicky Krieps, delivers a fierce and layered performance
that goes beyond impersonation, and the film takes a playful and
subversive approach to the historical
figure's life, disregarding accuracy and focusing on the portrayal of a woman's
struggle to find agency in a restrictive society. |
