Sofia Coppolla’s latest is well unique and flawed film. pretty, pretty, and more pretty. but it’s also very full of fluff. What I find strangest is that she potrays Antoinette as a partier who had no sense of the political climate around her. Most history majors will tell you this isn’t even close to the story of the damned french queen but oh well, at least we get some cool dance numbers with great eighties music. The movie is not bad by any means and the eye revels in the sights, Dunst included, and it makes for some good movie going. Versailles looks amazing and huge and adds a lot of its own personality to the movie. I just feel like there could have been a little more real and a little less candy.
