Empress Elisabeth of Austria is turning 40. In Vienna in 1877, that’s considered over the hill.
But Elisabeth is not one to bow to public expectation. As such, she works strategically to maintain her image within the confines of courtly life and deal with the complicated relationship she has with her husband, the Emperor Franz Joseph.
“A witty subversion of biopic and costume-drama.” – Variety

Haven’t had the time to restore & now we’ve downsized it has to go. $65.00 Phone or text John 021 522 507
