Schicksal einer Kaiserin

An interesting doc, including scenes played by actors ,portraying aging characters ,much less handsome than those of the Marischka trilogy , which is ,according to one of the historians who intervene ,the contrary of reality .

The title speaks for itself : " an empress on the run" The film focuses on the empress ' fascination for foreign cultures : she used to shun Vienna ,their court and their etiquette .She was in love with Hungary ,and it was the only time she dabbled with politics ;but later this country was superseded by Greece : she had a huge palace built on the island of Corfu ,the Achilleon ,which cost a fortune ;you can visit this place nowadays , its' really impressive ;she also studied Greek and it was during one of her lessons (historically accurate) that she learned her son's suicide ; also interesting is an extract of a silent movie which depicts the reconstruction of her assassination .
