Product Description
Product Description
An electrifying yet intimate re-telling of the turbulent life of history's favorite villainess, Marie Antoinette, who married France's young and indifferent King Louis XVI.
Amazon.com
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

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I've heard many criticisms of this film, so I'll attempt to address them.
Criticism #1: Not every detail in her life is shown.
...such as the Affair of the Diamond Necklace incident, her imprisonment, and subsequent execution, though once again, this is NOT a BBC miniseries or History Channel biography. Sofia Coppola herself has stated in numerous interviews that she was never trying to make a historical biopic.
As Roger Ebert brilliantly put it: "No, the picture is not informative and detailed about the actual politics of the period. That is because we are entirely within Marie's world. And it is contained within Versailles, which shuts out all external reality. It is a self-governing architectural island, like Kane's Xanadu, that shuts out politics, reality, poverty, society."
Criticism #2: None of their accents are the same/ Why aren't they speaking like Hugh Grant?/ Ew they are using American accents!
I don't really know what accent people assume they're supposed to adopt, a stereotypical posh English accent? That would have been just as inaccurate, for the majority would have spoken French at court. Might as well let the actors keep their natural accents, for then the audience won't get distracted by attempts that fall short. And really, one can argue that the differences in their English-speaking accents could translate well for differences in French accents, since English is standing in for French.
Criticism #3: Modern music is used.
The most popular criticism I've heard is over the use of modern music, though this is probably what really made me love the film. Sofia Coppola was trying to capture a teenager's world and feelings, and I think she hit the perfect note. Some feel that this made it too catered (or even dumbed down) for the younger audience, but really, what's wrong with making a connection to that particular age group? This is, after all, a film about a teenager. A teenager from the 18th century born into royalty who lived a life of wealth, privilege and influence, yes, but a teenager nonetheless.
Roger Ebert continued to say in his review: "Coppola has been criticized in some circles for her use of a contemporary pop overlay -- hit songs, incongruous dialogue, jarring intrusions of the Now upon the Then. But no one ever lives as Then; it is always Now. Many characters in historical films seem somehow aware that they are living in the past. Marie seems to think she is a teenager living in the present, which of course she is -- and the contemporary pop references invite the audience to share her present with ours."
Criticism #4: It's boring.
Well, go watch Transformers then. If you were bored through this, then period pieces in general must not be your thing. I don't think your dislike has anything to do with Coppola's direction then.
Seriously though, this whole movie was such lovely eye candy; so full of color and life. I could go on and on about the clothes and locations and flowers and pastries and champagne featured throughout. It's very aesthetically-pleasing. Coppola perfectly captured the youthfulness and decadence, as well as the gossiping, sycophantic society of that era, and managed to make it accessible and pleasurable to watch. I think Marie Antoinette would have approved.
Another thing that she, and in turn the brilliant Kirsten Dunst portrayed, is getting me to see past the masses of sugar coated pastels that were all the rage at the time and allow me to see a deep and complex vulnerability. After watching the movie for a second time I started to do some reading on the the ill-fated queen - her story, despite it's excesses and privilege that surrounded it ended quite badly. It made me wonder what her life might have been like had she been raised to think about anything other than herself and had she not been in the unfortunate position of being sold off to the neighboring country as a peace offer. I don't know but I think that things might have turned out well for her, say, as a farmer's wife. . .
I think I now understand the reaction of some critics who probably hated it as much as I did when the film premiered. Perhaps the biggest challenge for the viewer, and it was true for me, was to think that it was actually possible to have two silly kids running a country and having all of the other equally silly adults giving them such minimal direction that they basically watched a country fall apart. Honestly, the entire concept was almost too difficult to watch.
I now put on the film when I am looking for something familiar and comforting. There is something very real about her story although her life could not be further from my own. I think back and pity her, not for her excess and extravagance to the point of revulsion, but for the loneliness she must have felt being alone in a country and in a household that did not really want her. Perhaps it's her loneliness that you feel in the entire film that makes it so remarkable. Even in scenes of grandeur, you see it living right on the screen. Long moments of pure and unadulterated loneliness that leave me feeling strangely sad.
I would not MA's life even if it were handed to me on a gold platter. However, I can now say that every single time I watch the film I uncover some other little nugget that Sophia slyly hid on the screen for me to find.

Súper triste. Es la peimera vez que me pasa con una película adquirida por aquí
La musica che accompagna il film è irriverente quasi a stonare eppure io la trovo bellissima a tal punto che a parte e in un secondo momento ho comprato il cd.
Un film che cela benissimo dietro sfarzo e allegria, l'inquietudine e le sofferenze di un popolo. La vita di palazzo nasconde insidie e mutamenti.
Maria Antonietta, una giovanissa regina che ha che ha portato a corte innovazione e scompiglio. Una "bambina" a cui non è stata data la possibilità di diventare donna.
Un film decisamente sottovalutato ma che andrebbe visto almeno una volta.

Sobre la película decir que Sofía Coppola dirige una narración electrizante a la par que intimista sobre la turbulenta vida de la mala favorita de la Historia. , María Antonieta. Kristen Dunst da vida a la joven princesa de fatal destino, que se casó con un joven e indiferente rey Luis XVI. Sintiéndose sola en medio de una corte llena de escándalos e intrigas palaciegas, María Antonieta se enfrentó tanto a la realeza como al pueblo, lo que finalmente marcó su destino.
Para mí una película de 10 que me trasporta a la época de María Antonieta pero sin sentirla alejada, mostrándome como pudo sentirse este personaje histórico desnostada durante mucho tiempo e enigmático.
La película fue ganadora en 2006 del Festival de Cine de Cannes y ganadora de un Oscar en 2006 a Mejor Diseño de Vestuario por Milena Canonero.
Consto con un presupuesto de 40.000.000$ y obtuvo una recaudación en taquilla de 60.917.189$.
