Excellent Movie,
By David Connell "basileus2" (Hamilton, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Marie Antoinette Bilingual (DVD)
Marie Antoinette was one of my favourite movies of 2006. Why it got such mixed reviews I will never understand. If you are looking for an historical drama about the events leading up to the French Revolution, you won't find it here. What you find is the story of a young girl hopelessly out of her depth at a foreign court just trying to fit in. So she indulges herself in fashion, food and petty palace intrigues. Marie Antoinette is totally isolated from the world in the royal zoo that is Versailles. She has not interest in the outside world because that is not her job. Her job is to produce an heir for the French throne, and that is it. When the Revolution finally comes, she is understandably bewildered.The casting of the movie is inspired. While I am not a big fan of Kirsten Dunst, she does a remarkable job in the title role. Rip Torn and Asia Argento are excellent as Louis XV and Madame du Barry. The rest of the cast play their roles well. I will admit the soundtrack was a bit jarring at first. You don't really expect to hear 80's pop music in a costume drama. But it wasn't used exclusively, and when it was used, it was approptriate such as the rave scene.

SUCH FUN,
This review is from: Marie Antoinette Bilingual (DVD)
This movie is so much fun. I love historical fiction, and this movie does not miss the mark. The costumes, the scenery and the actors are all extremely good. The Movie is well writen and acted. Marie Antoinette was a very young and inocent when she married and made her way as she knew best. Her Husband the king was young and inocent as well and their story is of love and learning. I have watched this movie over and over. What a treat to see.
