A stunningly beautiful film, as befits its subject…the building of the gardens at Versailles for King Louis XIV, played by the superb actor Alan Rickman, who also directed the movie which was produced and photographed by highly talented women. A film about gardening, shot mostly at stately homes in the Home Counties, Rockbourne will love this! But A Little Chaos is above all a highly romantic drama as Sabine, the peerless Kate Winslet, tries to overcome class barriers to win over the court’s renowned landscape artist André Le Nôtre, a return to film night by Belgian actor Mattias Schoenaerts (Gabriel Oaks in ‘Far From the Madding Crowd’). Beautiful gardens, Kate, Alan and Mattias, and a little sex; it’s all there in this thoroughly enjoyable film. Come and brighten up a dark November evening at Versailles amid the plants, costumes and fabulous scenery.
