Marie Antoinette

Saw Marie Antoinette on Xmas Day.

I can see why it's had less then glowing reviews, but I really enjoyed it.

I believe the film confirmed Sofia Coppola's talent . I am a big fan of Virgin Suicides and Lost in Translation - and now MA. It's clear that Coppola is not exactly a plot-driven director; but she has displayed real talent at capturing the life and times of a young woman and
walking an audience through her world for a couple of hours.

The film looked simply amazing; the Versailles scenes (almost the whole film) define decadence and I thought Kirsten Dunst and Jason Schwarzman gave fantastic performances. And I can't help but love any film with Rip Torn in it.

A sure-fire win for every costume design and art direction award in 2007.
