A Little Chaos**     
(GB 2014)     
BBC Films/Lipsync. 117m. ws

In 17th century France, Andre le Notre hires an attractive young widow to design the ornamental gardens for Louis XIV at the Palace of Versailles.
Unashamedly decorous historical romantic drama, emphasising the power of beauty, with some occasional moving insights into the characters rather than necessarily into history. All but French in style, but with accomplished English speaking actors instead.
