A Little Chaos Clips

If you are a fan of period drama then A Little Chaos is a movie that is not to be missed this weekend as Kate Winslet returns to the big screen.

A Little Chaos

A Little Chaos sees Winslet reunite with Alan Rickman for the first time since Sense & Sensibility - however, Rickman is also in the director's chair as well as on the cast list.

Rickman make his directorial debut back in 1998 with The Winter Guest and this will be the first time he has returned to directing since that debut - I have to say, it is great to see him back.

A Little Chaos is a charming and funny period drama that sees Winslet in great form. Ahead of the film's release tomorrow, we have a trio of great clips for you to take a look at:

Winslet takes on the central role of Sabine De Barra, while Rickman will also star in the film as King Louis XIV. They are joined on the cast list by Matthias Schoenaerts, Helen McCrory, Stanley Tucci, and Steven Waddington.

Madame Sabine De Barra (Winslet) is an unlikely candidate for landscape architect of the still-to-be-completed Palace of Versailles. She has little time for the classical, ordered designs of the man who hires her, the famous architect Le Nôtre (Schoenaerts).

However, as she works on her creation, she finds herself drawn to the enigmatic Le Nôtre and forced to negotiate the perilous rivalries and intricate etiquette of the court of King Louis XIV (Rickman).

But Sabine is made of strong stuff; her honesty and compassion help her to overcome both the challenges of her newfound popularity, and an unspeakable tragedy from her past, to win the favour of the Sun King and the heart of Le Nôtre.

A Little Chaos is just one of the period movies that are heading to the big screen in recent weeks and it is one that is not to be missed if you are a fan of this genre.
