Being a history major, my guilty pleasures lie in historical drama and fiction pieces. I hope you will explore a new side of history after seeing my favorite dramas.Â
- A Little ChaosÂ
-
A landscape gardener (Kate Winslet) is awarded the honor of designing the garden for the Palace of Versaille. This task places her in the court of King Louis XIV where secrets and romance bloom.Â
Directing and acting among the cast is the wonderful Alan Rickman and a favorite of mine, Matthias Schoenaerts.
- Suite FranciaseÂ
-
With her husband at war, a lonely french woman begins a tentative romance with a German soldier who has been ordered to stay at her mother-in-law’s house. In this movie as well is Matthias Schoenaerts, are you beginning to see a pattern? I love him.Â
P.S. I cried.
- The PhysicianÂ
-
During the 11th century, a destitute orphan travels to Persia to study medicine with a famed healer. This brilliant movie was so fascinating because it gave insight on medicinal practices of the period.
Begin your journey and delve deep into the secrets and romance of history.
