Marie Antoinette (Revisited)
This is not a sneak preview. This movie has already released.
It is “Clueless” before the French Revolution. If Paris Hilton, tabloid gossip, and reality TV were transported back to late 1700 France, it might look like Sophia Coppola’s “Marie Antoinette”. It is a visual feast for the eyes, but only eye candy for the mind. The real star here is the estate at Versailles, inside and out. Those scenes look spectacular. The film is full of French royalty opulence, decadence, pomp and circumstance. Coppola mixes old and new, a costume ball with contemporary music, and the American-accented Kirsten Dunst playing the Austrian child bride. Audiences will probably either love or hate this movie.
Alien gives it 2 “mindless frilly fun and party all of the time” stars out of 4.
