Vicky Krieps stars as the real-life Empress Elisabeth of Austria in the offbeat and sympathetic 'Corsage'
—gives a performance perched on the edge of haughtiness and despair. Her Sisi is a woman of quietly intense sexual appetites, though what turns her on most is being looked at adoringly. She suffers from what we would, with our modern insight, call an eating disorder: her dinner plate might contain one petal-thin sliver of beef, or two slices of orange. Krieps plays Sisi with both imperious grandeur and a sense of humor, a fine line to walk, even on slender, regal ankles.
Sisi tries to solve her intense but unnameable problems by leaving Austria, to visit old lovers and a crazy cousin she adores . But mostly, she’s alone, confiding—barely—in one of her ladies-in-waiting, Marie , the closest thing she has to a girlfriend.Together, Kreutzer and Krieps explore the idea of female loneliness, a state that isn’t necessarily caused by men, but one that even so shuts them out of a woman’s world.
