The 39-year old star of "Titanic" plays Sabine De Barra in
romantic period drama "A Little Chaos", who is commissioned to
create the Rockwork Grove in the gardens of the French palace
under King Louis XIV.
The film stars Alan Rickman as the king, Stanley Tucci as his
brother Philippe, Duc d'Orleans and Mathias Schoenaerts as
landscape artist Andre Le Notre.
Winslet can be seen weeding and chopping down plants in the film
but says the experience does not mirror real life.
"I'm not a gardener. I wish I was," Winslet told reporters at
the London premiere of the film on Monday night.
"Every year I say 'Right, this year we're going to do raised
beds, this year we're going to grow carrots, this year we're
going to do tomatoes,' and somehow life gets in the way and we
never get around to it."
Winslet reunites in the film with her "Sense and Sensibility"
co-star Rickman, who also directed the fictional and loosely
historical "A Little Chaos".
"Working with Alan again after 20 years ... was really a
fantastic experience," said the actress, who was dressed in a
midnight blue dress.
Asked how they had both changed since then, she said: "Well I
think we're probably both fatter and we're definitely older but
that's the way it goes."
"A Little Chaos" is due for release on April 17 in Britain and
at the end of June in the United States.
