VIBE
This film is a deliciously wicked plunge into opulent, yet claustrophobic, 18th-century court life. It feels sharp, witty, and often unsettling, with a darkly comedic edge that belies its emotional depth. Expect a visually stunning, character-driven power struggle, both grand and intimately cruel, leaving a lingering sense of tragicomic manipulation.
