The great actor Alan Rickman directs and plays King Louis XIV in this sumptuous romantic drama about the construction of the gardens at the Palace of Versailles.

Sabine(Kate Winslet), the designer of the gardens, becomes drawn to the architect LeNôtre and forms a bond with the Sun King himself.

“The film is a gracefully made delight, replete with lush costumes, fruity performances, love among the flowerbeds and even a little mild peril,” wrote Screen Daily.

Alan Rickman will present the film with a Q&A post-screening.

Please note the event is 6:30pm arrival for a 7pm start.
