Dunst is fit to be Queen.

Rating: 5/10 (4 March 2007)

I really enjoyed Sofia Coppola's VIRGIN SUICIDES, but this is not exactly what I expected. Kirsten Dunst is the movie to me. Of course, the scenery is awesome and a killer soundtrack. This is Miss Coppola's candy-coated and slightly imaginative telling of the young Austrian princess forced into an arranged marriage at the age of 15 to Louis XVI(Jason Schwartzman)of France. The young free-spirit will become Queen at 19 and fall into an opulent and scandal ridden lifestyle that will make her the subject of the French populace's hatred. The end of her reign and life will be nothing short of legendary. Other cast members of note: Rip Torn, Judy Davis, Rose Byrne, Asia Argento, Steve Cogan and Marianne Faithful. The soundtrack delightful as decadent features the likes of The Strokes, Bow Wow, Air, New Order and The Cure. Let's say that Dunst as Marie Antoinette is a sight to remember.
