Empress of Austria and Queen of Hungary Elisabeth [Susanne Wolff] has retreated to the Greek island of Corfu after the tragic death of her son. The 42-year-old unmarried Hungarian Countess Irma Sztáray [Sandra Hüller] reluctantly offers her services as a lady-in-waiting and is surprised when Sisi (Elisabeth's nickname) takes her on. Irma soon discovers that Sisi lives an unconventional lifestyle and that her personal relationships are quite erratic. Hüller and Wolff are excellent and Georg Friedrich does a great supporting job as Sisi's flamboyant brother-in-law Viktor and the subversive tone (Romy Schneider fans be warned) never gets old. But there is hardly any story or character development. And anyone who knows the history of Sisi already knows how it will end, even if Finsterwalder and co-screenwriter Christian Kracht give it a romantic twist. Ah yes, Sisi and romance. Do not get me started!

From a perspective where womanhood, in the form of independence, self-development, and sexuality, is revealed through the eyes of Sisi's "lady-in-waiting." It even verges on a coming-of-age story with adolescent struggles, as if a belated experience after the strict upbringing of childhood. With the arrival of her uncle, the whole thing verges on a Roman pleasure garden in a Greek comedy, which is actually a tragedy given the state of affairs. Ultimately, depression takes over, resulting in a search where both ignore the fact that they harbor this within themselves. Traumatized and searching for love, this ultimately culminates in a farewell. 3.2* Hüller is superb in her role.
