Madame Sabine De Barra (Kate Winslet) is an unlikely candidate for landscape architect of the still‐to-be-completed Palace of Versailles. She has little time for the classical, ordered designs of the man who hires her, the famous architect Le Nôtre (Matthias Schoenaerts). However, as she works on her creation, she finds herself drawn to the enigmatic Le Nôtre and forced to negotiate the perilous rivalries and intricate etiquette of the court of King Louis XIV (Alan Rickman). But Sabine is made of strong stuff; her honesty and compassion help her to overcome both the challenges of her newfound popularity, and an unspeakable tragedy from her past, to win the favor of the Sun King and the heart of Le Nôtre.
Insider’s tip: Kate Winslet is perfection as the humble gardener who designed one of Versailles’ most spectacular features. Director Alan Rickman delivers an engaging, beautifully shot film recounting this romantic, comedic and intriguing story. A NY Times Critic’s Pick.
