About Maria Theresa’s Dark Side
Shortly before Christmas 1744, Vienna, the center of power in the Habsburg Empire, is the scene of a disastrous drama with repercussions for the whole of Europe. Against the spirit of enlightenment and tolerance, the very young Maria Theresa orders the expulsion of the allegedly disloyal Jews from Prague.
Directed by Monika Czernin, Maria Theresa’s Dark Side leans on a strong ensemble — Fanny Krausz, Julian Loidl, Florian Carove — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2024.
