      J. R. Jones Chicago Reader The tragic romance of the Austrian archduke Franz Ferdinand and the Bohemian countess Sophie Chotek proves to be ideal material for director Max Ophuls. Jun 18, 2015 Full Review Michael Atkinson Village Voice Ophls finds crazy lavishness and poetry in the Empire trappings, and excels in detailing the dreary, humiliating absurdity of court life. Mar 24, 2015 Full Review Richard Brody New Yorker Ophls contrasts the authentic grandeur of inner nobility with the crushing formalities of royal presumption. Mar 23, 2015 Full Review Joe Bendel Epoch Times Throughout the film, Ophls demonstrates a wonderfully shrewd eye for the trappings and architecture of power while portraying the royal romance with humor and sensitivity. Rated: 4.5/5 May 20, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews
