one of my absolute favorites!
I really don't get the hype.
I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.
Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
Slow at points, but the sets & costumes are stunning and it's gorgeously shot. I've seen it multiple times and I always find something new love.
Wow a treat for the eye with the beautiful costumes, scenery and spectacular palaces! The acting was good also but the rock music soundtrack ruined it for me. So out of place. I would have given this a 9 except for that. Also noticed before Marie was married they call her madam. Shouldn't it be mademoiselle before a woman is married?
This movie might upset people who dig in to this movie of historical intentions but that is not what you should look for when you watch this beautifully shot movie. Lance Acord who has worked with Coppola on her debut short "Lick the star" (1998) and her Oscar winning "Lost in translation" (2004) make a beautiful movie together. The costumes, the scenery, the light, the photography - wonderful, mesmerizing. This film is more like visionary poetry than historical. When you watch a Sofia Coppola movie you should now her thin dialogue because she wants the pictures to tell you a story than words. I can't praise this movie enough it's so wonderful and I like how she had silent scenes where you her the sound of nature instead of music and I also like how she used modern music instead of classical music of Antoniettes time which gave the movie a very nice, atmospheric edge to it. Visual poetry is what this movie is all about!
I was about to finish Stefan Zweig's biography novel about Marie Antoinette before watching this movie. %100 director got inspiration from that novel.What a sad story. Young girl from Austria royal made marriage to cut hostility between Austria and France. Anyway every aspect was directly quotation from the book that I mentioned before. I suggest the watchers who want to see this movie, they need to read great novel of Stefan Zweig who was the best autobiographer of 20s Centuries novel name: Marie Antoinette: The Portrait of an Average Woman. She was really average woman,like we are:)
