REVIEW
“Empathy is not an emotion generally evoked by a house, even if that house is a 98-room chateau that has endured a winding history fraught with the whims of owners, pillagers and historical societies.

“Three Women and a Chateau” is a beautifully crafted tale… The film meanders neatly between enthusiastic historians, architects, and former residents and is interspersed with stunning footage of the actual building of the house and stills of events held there over the years.“
