IFC Films has acquired the North American rights to “Corsage,” a costume drama starring “Phantom Thread” actress Vicky Krieps, that premiered at Cannes in the Un Certain Regard competition this week, an individual with knowledge told TheWrap.
Marie Kreutzer directed the film that is a story about the Empress Elisabeth of Austria known by the name “Sissi” from the 19th century. The film has earned rave reviews out of Cannes and is arguably one of the best reviewed films of the festival thus far.
In TheWrap’s review, Nicholas Barber wrote that “Corsage” stylistically resembles the dreamy Kristen Stewart film “Spencer.”
