Patti Smith hosted a New York screening of Corsage last week, one of many showings since the Oscar-shortlisted Best International Feature contender premiered to a warm welcome in Cannes, where it won Best Performance, Un Certain Regard, for star Vicky Krieps as the Empress Elisabeth of Austria, Sisi for short.
It’s fitting that Smith, royalty of the avant-garde, came out to support a film about an iconoclastic princess. The musician, poet and artist, “has been a fan of Vicky since Phantom Thread” — Krieps’ 2017 breakout role as muse to a haute couture designer played by Daniel Day-Lewis. “She even has a Phantom Thread club.
She saw the [Corsage] trailer and kind of fell for it,” says Corsage writer-director Marie Kreutzer. In her film, Krieps is muse to an empire as the stunning, slightly off-kilter, fashion-forward wife of Emperor Franz Joseph I in the latter 1800s.
She died in 1898, remaining one of Austria’s most popular historical figures. Kreutzer and Krieps excavate the revolutionary modern thinker and flouter of social norms behind Sisi images on coffee mugs and candy boxes as well as older on-screen fairytale adaptations.
