Actor Allusion | |
| A Little Chaos / int_392372f9 | comment |
Actor Allusion: Colonel Brandon and Marianne are together again. What’s more, a scene in the film between the two of them mirrors a scene in Sense and Sensibility, almost 20 years apart. Sabine wears a giant hat and almost drowns. Sound familiar? Snape and Draco's mother in a film together? | |

King Incognito: After the death of his wife, King Louis XIV retreats alone to a pear garden... where Sabine is supposed to meet a gardener there to exchange perennials. He allows her to believe that he is that person until she realizes who he is, and then asks her to go on as they were. | |

Sugar-and-Ice Personality | |
| A Little Chaos / int_e24a1629 | comment |
Sugar-and-Ice Personality: King Louis XIV. He fluctuates between being warm and affectionate and cold and exacting, sometimes to the same person within the same conversation. It's implied that he is like this all the time, to the point that the builders of Versailles constantly have to rework their plans to his specifications, even if it's overbudget or physically impossible. | |

Very Loosely Based on a True Story: The film starts with an opening line stating that there is an outdoor ballroom at Versailles, and "that much is true." The rest is a mix of creative license and real history. | |

Good Adultery, Bad Adultery: Madame le Nôtre has multiple affairs (with his reluctant permission), justifying it as both of them being allowed to seek happiness elsewhere. Sabine's husband also had a mistress and he and their child died on a visit to her. But André's attraction to Sabine is justified, though she's unable to reciprocate while he is still married. | |
