Sisi/Last Minute is a curious take on the life of Emperor Franz Joseph, focusing on his naivety and awkwardness around women. The film paints a vivid picture of the grandeur and absurdity of the Austro-Hungarian court, filled with ambitious courtesans trying to navigate their own desires. The pacing feels a bit erratic at times, mirroring the protagonist's own indecisiveness. Eliza, as Sisi, brings a youthful energy that contrasts with the political machinations surrounding her. The film captures the tension between personal freedom and duty, with a palpable atmosphere of both romance and entrapment. Notably, it relies on practical effects and sets that evoke a specific historical context without leaning too heavily into melodrama, which makes it distinctive in its approach.
