Alan Rickman directs the romantic drama A Little Chaos, casting Kate Winslet in the lead role of Sabine de Barra, a gifted gardener and landscaper who is chosen to design a section of the elaborate landscaping to be constructed at the palace of Versailles for Louis XIV (Rickman). The job brings with it gender and class barriers, and she must also contend professionally with controlling royal gardener André Le Notre (Matthias Schoenaerts), who begins to fall for the free-spirited de Barra. A Little Chaos screened at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival.
