Alan Rickman stars and directs this wonderful fantasy about the design of a garden at the edge of Versailles.

A Little Chaos (2014)

I love costume dramas and this has it all. It is funny, sexy and filled with courtly intrigue. Even a little bit of gay hand holding in Louis' court. Well, more than that.

Kate Winslet as a royal gardener, Matthias Schoenaerts as the head gardener (sigh), Stanley Tucci in a wig for comic relief (and playing gay in a refined way), as well as a large cast of very handsome actors who obviously relish the chance to wear all those great costumes and carry on in a courtly way.

I would not mind seeing it again. That makes it a 4 out of Netflix5.
