Film: CORSAGE (d. Marie Kreutzer, 2022, Austria-Luxembourg-Germany-France)
Forum: Doc Films Format: DCP
Observations: About 30 folks showed up for this one. Very similar to the 2018 feature THE FAVOURITE, a royal (played by Vicky Krieps) descends a step at a time into pleasure-seeking madness, until it stops working.
