A vibrant, refreshingly mischievous take on the period drama with an award-winning lead in Vicky Krieps (Phantom Thread), CORSAGE is the stunning, stylish new film from acclaimed director Marie Kreutzer.

COMMISSIONED Response to Marie Kreutzer's Corsage
By Rachel Pronger
There is a specific moment five minutes in when we realise that Corsage has something different in store to costume drama business as usual.
In a striking pre-titles sequence, Empress Elisabeth (Vicky Krieps) walks up the palace stairs flanked by her ladies-in-waiting, swaggering in slow motion to a contemporary pop soundtrack.
For a brief but arresting instant Krieps lifts her eyes and looks directly at the camera, momentarily puncturing the fourth wall with one delicious, defiant look.
