The tragic romance of the Austrian archduke Franz Ferdinand and the Bohemian countess Sophie Chotek proves to be ideal material for director Max Ophuls.
Ophüls finds crazy lavishness and poetry in the Empire trappings, and excels in detailing the dreary, humiliating absurdity of court life.
Ophüls contrasts the authentic grandeur of inner nobility with the crushing formalities of royal presumption.
Throughout the film, Ophüls demonstrates a wonderfully shrewd eye for the trappings and architecture of power while portraying the royal romance with humor and sensitivity.
