Vicky Krieps is getting Oscar buzz for her sensational performance in "Corsage," as Empress Elisabeth of Austria, aka "Sissy." This gorgeous, historical drama written and directed by Marie Kreutzer, reimagines a year in the Empress' life as she grapples with criticism and gossip that largely concerns her flirtations with her riding instructor, Bay Middleton (Colin Morgan), as well as her husband's mistress.
"I read her biography, and I could feel from what I was reading, there was something else between the lines. . . . She might have been sad or depressed."
