I had been excited for months to see Marie Antoinette. I'd read good and bad things about it, one of the bad being its 54% rating on rottentomatoes.com. Neverthless, I'd seen the article about it a couple of weeks ago in Entertainment Weekly, and it made me really interested in what Sofia Coppola had accomplished. So I saw it yesterday. And I really enjoyed it. It's 80's punk rock in the eighteenth century. There is not much talking, but it's marvelous to look at. The colors and the costumes are beautiful (I have no doubt that it will at least be nominated for a costume design Oscar), and I was never bored of watching, even if it moved at a slow, dreamy pace. If you've seen The New World, it moves a lot like that, but I enjoyed Marie Antoinette much more. Louis (played by Jason Swartzman) was the original lovable nerd, and I loved the awkward relationship the young couple had. I am excited to by the soundtrack now; it's a mix of pop rock and classical. Overall, this is a quirky, fun dramedy with gorgeous scenery and costumes, and I encourage any fashion-lover to see it. You should see the shoes!Oh, and another thing: My mother and I both have a feeling that wearing ribbons around your neck with become a fashion trend because of this movie, so get to the craft store now and buy those ribbons!
Ta-Ta.

I also saw the movie on Friday and I thought it was gorgeous. Yet, there was not enough substance to it. I think they should have made it more historical than just a portrayal of a girl who had a lot of luxuries. Hope I make sense. I loved the clothes and especially the shoes in the movie though!
