Best dressed Elisabeth "Sisi" of Austria - Vote

I always wanted to do a Best Dressed vote and matching gif sets, and well now the time has come. I've decided to start with Elisabeth of Austria aka Sisi/Sissi because she is portrayed in so many adaptations in recent years.

I'm sorry if I'm missing some but those are the ones I can gif right now. If you know another one, drop it in the comments and I will try to do an honorable mentions gif set of that adaptation as well.

If you want to, you can also drop a comment or reblog including your favourite costume overall.

Examples:

There are gif sets of The Sissi Trilogy, Sisi (2009), Sisi (2021) and Ludwig II (2012) on my blog. Gif sets of dresses from The Empress/Die Kaiserin have been made by @awkward-sultana. Pictures from Corsage and Sisi & I can be found at @sisionscreen.

We talk about portrayals of Sisi, but I think that Franz Joseph was, if anything, even more misrepresented by the recent period dramas. How would you rank the portrayals of him you have seen/read (in historical novels)? Is there any piece of historical fiction that actually captures his character accurately?

Hello! YES I always focus on Elisabeth but he is also completely butchered in all these new series. I think I've said it before, but basically it's very hard to reconcile who FJ actually was (both as an emperor and as a person) with him being a love interest we as an audience can root for. Specially in these new adaptations in which Elisabeth is outspoken, mature and actively politically involved in the events of the empire (and not just the Compromise). Why would our Girl Boss protagonist want to be with a man who was bureaucracy made flesh, very conservative, and just kinda boring in general? It doesn't work. Thus, his personality also gets rewritten.

I don't really have a decided ranking, but off the top of my head I'd say these are my least to most favorite portrayals:

Sisi & Ich (2023): Do you hate Sisi adaptations that turn FJ into a horrible, abusive husband in order to make his wife look good? Well, this portrayal does just that. He is only very briefly in the movie but I hated every minute of it, personally I was mostly fine with the movie despite all its inaccuracies but there was one scene from this part that was a deal breaker for me. This movie should've been just two hours of Irma and Elisabeth traveling and nothing else.

Die Kaiserin (2022-): The solution of the screenwriters to the problem of "how do we make FJ likeable?" Basically turning him into his brother Maximilian lol. You see, he has liberal ideas but his evil mother doesn't let him pursue them! Oh, and he had nothing to do with those executions, that was also his mother! In fact everything bad he ever did was all his mother's fault, because he is not even governing, his mother is. By season 2 it almost seems that FJ has absolutely no idea what's going on in his own empire and needs to be explained basic thing like Italian nationalism. This series sanitizes FJ in levels that just aren't seen in any other adaptation, not even the Sissi Trilogy. You are watching the show and can't help but think "who is this guy???". The only thing he has in common with the real FJ is that he loves his wife, but the way their relationship is portrayed is so unlike the real couple that not even that makes him similar to his historical counterpart.

Sisi (2021-2024). This FJ is in the opposite end of the same spectrum as Die Kaiserin's FJ. Season 1 had the original take of not making FJ likeable, but instead they turned him in a borderline cartoonishly evil, violent and smug man. He smiles as he orders executions, he beats his aids for not reason, he openly cheats on his wife and publicly insults her in a fit of jealousy. Honestly I was baffled by this take, because even after all these bizarre changes they still went for a "Sisi and Franz's great love story!" approach for the series. Which was. A choice. They obviously wanted to make him like that so that he could go through a redemption arc thanks to his relationship with Sisi, but it was just not a well written arc, and when his personality does change in later seasons it doesn't feel like earned character grow but simply that the writers decided to tone down their original approach.

Yet I will admit I'm lowkey fond of this portrayal, I liked most of his storyline in season 2 (he spends most of the season bonding with a feral child and also definitely has a thing going on with Andrássy you can't convince me otherwise), and in season 3 I found myself agreeing with him. So yeah, utterly butchered FJ but in an entertaining way at least.

Sissi Trilogy: I'm honestly overall indifferent to this FJ; he is basically the blueprint for every posterior depiction that portrays him as a Prince Charming love interest. Yet, for all the overomantization of Elisabeth's early life, the movies don't shy away from telling us how FJ was directly responsible of the counter revolution executions. We even see how he is still hated in Hungary and Italy (at least until Sissi comes into the scene). A certain show from a certain straming service could learn that it's not necessary to completely sanitize his image and pin all his faults onto his mother to make Franz Josef into a palatable love interest.

Sisi (2009). I feel about this FJ almost the same as I feel about the Sissi Trilogy's FJ, but in this portrayal we do see more of him than just "Sisi's love interest". Also it's not always all the color of roses, he and Elisabeth disagree and fight more than once. His relationship with his brother Max is also really interesting, pity they only interact in like three scenes. Overall a solid take, if a bit romanticized and not particularly remarkable.

Kronprinz Rudolf (2006). Not a bad take but for what I remember they portrayed Taaffe as having this great influence over FJ and putting him against Rudolf. And like no the evil minister was not responsible for FJ distrusting his son He Was Like That.

Elisabeth das Musical: the only depiction on this list that I truly like, and it really proves that the only way to have a good FJ is to not make him into a love interest. He is only a supporting character and yet the musical nails the most important bits of his personality and his relationship with Elisabeth outstandingly well (loved his wife but never understood her, cheated yet still longed for her, let her go but always hoped she would comeback next to him). There's even room to also show his relationship with Rudolfl! The only thing that I don't really like is that they do portray his mother as having a lot of influence over him, but that's mostly because the musical has an outdated take on Sophie (which works pretty well in a storytelling level nonetheless!). Boote in der Nacht is the saddest song in the entire musical, and the musical is not even about FJ and Elisabeth as a couple. Just a great, nuanced and engaging take!

I know I'm missing a lot FJs but these are the ones that came to my mind right now; I don't think I've ever seen Franz Josef in a piece of media that isn't about Elisabeth or Rudolf. Thank you for your question!

[lunatic-fandom-space]

Hey! I've been obsessed with Elisabeth: das Musical for a good while and one of the things I really like about it is the way it comments on Sissi-media. However, Im saying that as someone who really only knows about that media through cultural osmosis and hasnt really seen any of it. And since I'm gonna have a bunch of free time the next few weeks, I thought it would be interesting to watch all* the media about Elisabeth I can get my hands on and review it and just talk about my thoughts on it. I'm also gonna watch all* the Rudolf media I can find as part of this little project because, I might as well

*by 'all media' I mostly mean stuff like movies, series and stageplays, obviously I know there's books but I'm not really in a place where I can focus on reading a bunch of stuff, but I know that the trilogy is based on books, and if I can find free audiobooks online I'll listen to those

I also want to give a quick disclaimer that I'm not a history person, I know very little about all this, so I'm not gonna get too much into the historical accuracy of any of these pieces. I mean, maybe this whole thing will get me to do research into the actual history, I actually have been wanting to do that more since Ive started engaging with the Elisabeth das Musical fandom and seen all these people talk about how much reasearch they do for fanfics and stuff, and its making me feel a little left out ngl, but I struggle with actually doing that for reasons I dont really want to get into. Long story short, if I dont approach historical topics very carefully Im gonna end up with horrible intrusive thoughts that last for days, and I'd like to avoid that but I need to figure out how to do that first.

Anyway, that's pretty much it for now. I'll put everything I want to watch in order under the readmore. I'm pretty sure I got everything (that i can access atleast), but if you feel like Im missing anything please tell me, I want to be thorough and I would really appreciate it ^^

[sisionscreen]

do you have any photos of Sisi or Franz with Valerie in any sisi shows?

The three modern Sisi series (Sisi (2009), Sisi (2021) and The Empress) never reached or haven't yet reached the point where Valerie is even born. The only portrayal of Valerie I can quickly think of is in Corsage (2022). For anything from that, just check the tag Archduchess Marie Valerie of Austria on my blog. If I haven't posted it there, I don't have it.

Although I think she was also in Kronprinz Rudolfs letzte Liebe (2006) aka The Crown Prince but I'm not 100% sure. IMDb names Valerie, Valerie as a child and Valerie's fiancé as roles. The two parts are on Youtube in German, so skip through it and maybe you can find the scenes. I haven't watched the movie in years and my memory is very faulty of it. Google wasn't helpful with pictures either.

@archduchessofnowhere do you remember any other portrayal of Valerie?

Semiramis alimentada por las palomas (antes de 1810) de Franc Kavčič / Caucig (Gorizia, 1755 - Viena, 1828). Óleo, lienzo, 103 x 164 cm. NG S 3356, Galería Nacional de Eslovenia, Ljubljana.

No muy lejos del Ascalon sirio, hay un lago grande y profundo plagado de peces. En su orilla había un lugar consagrado a la diosa siria Derceto, que tenía la parte superior de una mujer y la parte inferior de su cuerpo era la de un pez. La diosa del amor, Afrodita, le guardaba rencor y, en venganza, hizo que Derceto se enamorara de un sacerdote en su propio templo. De su relación nació una hija, de la que Derceto se avergonzó. Así que expuso a su bebé, se deshizo de su padre, se arrojó al lago y se convirtió en pez. En el lugar donde estaba expuesta la cría, las palomas tenían sus nidos y criaban a la niña. Algunos la calentaban con sus alas, otros le llevaban leche en el pico. Cuando el niño tenía un año y necesitaba más comida, las palomas robaban trozos de queso de los pastores cercanos. Estos últimos sintieron curiosidad por esto y en poco tiempo encontraron la razón. Descubrieron a la pequeña, que era de gran belleza, y la llevaron al jefe de los rebaños reales que no tenía hijos. Le dio el nombre de Semiramis, que en sirio significa "palomas".

Restaurado: 2006, Kemal Selmanović, Ljubljana

Procedencia: Antes de 1810: pintado para el Palais Auersperg en Viena; 1953: el cuadro de la Kronprinz Rudolf Saal fue comprado, junto con el palacio, por el cónsul Alfred Weiss. Tras su muerte en 1974, el palacio se vendió en 1987.

Possible future projects

I just found an HD source for the two part series Kronprinz Rudolf (Crown Prince Rudolf) from 2006. Since the 2009 two part series Sisi was also requested a while ago, I might consider doing these two projects next since Elisabeth “Sisi” of Austria was Rudolf’s mother and also appears in his movie.

I was actually considering doing Kaisersturz (The Emperor’s Fall) next because firstly it just recently aird and secondly it is only a 90min TV movie about what happened during the Fall of 1918 in Germany and how the Emperor lost his power.

In which one would you be more interested in? Please let me know.
