Sabine de Barra (Kate Winslet), a fiercely independent and talented landscape designer, is chosen to build one of the main gardens at Versailles for King Louis XIV (Alan Rickman). In her new position of power, she challenges gender and class barriers while also becoming entangled—professionally and romantically—with the court’s renowned landscape artist André Le Notre (Matthias Schoenaerts). Winslet gives a winning, charismatic performance in this highly entertaining period drama, her character injecting emotional honesty and creative chaos into an aristocratic milieu ruled by hypocrisy and convention.
