DVD Reviews of Marie Antoinette
DVD Review: Horrible!!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
I was shocked and disappointed with this film. I detest it and recommend that you avoid it. The actors are horrible. Direction is lacking and even absent. Plot is nowhere to be found and the historical facts are disregarded. HORRIBLE!!!! DVD Review: I can understand...
Summary: 1 Stars
...why it was booed, but I can't see how there could be any favorable reviews (and I would not like to meet those who made them). First, where I was expecting music, I could only hear unsufferable noise, and when appeared those supposed to be as Louis XV & XVI, I had more than enough and put this crap where it belonged : in the garbage. Of course, since a lot of garbage lovers seem to look at TV as entertainment and at McDos as restaurants (although they should be listed in phone directories as "mangers"), no wonder they can appreciate this. If Coppola had any pride, he should stop sponsoring his daughter until she came back to her senses. Unless, of course, he too thinks that crap lovers must have their fill....DVD Review: DVD MARIA ANNTOINETE
Summary: 5 Stars
I AM VERY DESAPOINTED, BECAUSE I ALREADY BY THIS DVD 1000 TIMES, AND THE LAST TIME I WHANT THE SOUND TRACK, SOUND TRACK, SAUND TRACK, AND U SEND ME AGAIN THE MOVIE, I DONT HAVE TIME FOR THIS...RODICULOSDVD Review: Let them eat this film
Summary: 4 Stars
Sophia Coppola took a piece of delightfully constructed non-fiction and transports us faithfully into the world that only existed for a select few in the 18th century. It is a crazy ride.
The critics didn't care for this movie. I think they were wrong. I think that it is colorful, yummy, and it in fact is an intelligent commentary on the Paris Hilton life of our days shared by a frivolous, privileged few.
The critics hated the sound track and generally disliked the casting choices. I say let them eat cake. Let them eat this delicious mille feuille pastry of a film, gooey with pink fondant.
DVD Review: 3 stars for costumes and sets
Summary: 3 Stars
I cannot imagine what thinking went behind starring Kirsten Dunst as Marie Antoinette and Jason Schwartzman as Louis XVI. I can almost forgive the music because the acting was so laughable. I'm glad I borrowed this from the library and didn't pay to see it in a theater or through Netflix.
Three star rating is for the costumes and set designs.
Description of Marie Antoinette
Academy Award? winner Sofia Coppola directs an electrifying yet intimate re-telling of the turbulent life of history's favorite villainess, Marie Antoinette. Kirsten Dunst portrays the ill-fated child princess who married France's young and indifferent King Louis XVI Jason Schwartzman. Feeling isolated in a royal court rife with scandal and intrigue, Marie Antoinette defied both royalty and commoner by living like a rock star, which served only to seal her fate.

While much was made of the fact that Marie Antoinette elicited boos at Cannes, the many favorable reviews attracted less attention. Inspired by Antonia Fraser's biography, Sofia Coppola fashions a portrait that's just as dreamy as The Virgin Suicides, her first literary adaptation, and the Oscar-winning Lost in Translation. Set to a soundtrack of post-punk (a conceit that adds more interest than resonance), the teenaged Marie (Kirsten Dunst, quite good) may be shallow, but she's rarely unsympathetic. The story begins in the late-18th century as the Austrian Archduchess agrees to marry Louis-Auguste (Jason Schwartzman). After bidding adieu to her mother, Maria Theresa (Marianne Faithfull), she travels to France, where King Louis XV (Rip Torn) sets the rules--and the list is endless (Judy Davis' Comtesse de Noailles is the primary enforcer). As for the Dauphin, he's just a boy, really, with more interest in his key collection than their marriage bed. Should Marie produce an heir, it might be enough to sustain her--since life is nothing but an endless shopping spree--but clouds gather on the horizon as an impoverished populace rises up against their extravagant leaders. Coppola merely suggests what happens next, although history paints a darker picture. Filmed in and around the Chateau of Versailles, Marie Antoinette is a riot of rustling gowns, sparkling jewels, and Manolo Blahnik-designed shoes. To say that style trumps substance does its maker a disservice, but the look of the thing does leave the deepest impression. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
