Hungry for More

Rating: 10/10 (13 November 2008)

I loved this film, Sofia really worked her magic with this film and left myself and the audience of 25 hungry for more fashion, cake and pale pink dresses. I thought the use of Rock music was such a smart technique and it worked so well in collaboration with the Opera music. The costumes were beautiful, the script was minimal- the expressions on the actors faces and the costumes spoke more than words ever could. I found the movie beautiful and quite sad, the movie had this slight sadness from start to finish. Kirsten Dunst is beautiful and enchanting as Marie Antoinette and I can't imagine someone better suited to the role of someone who essentially would've been an indie fashionista in our time. Jason Schwartzman was really good as well- I thought he played his role well and seemed lost as well which really elevated his character and made it more believable. I think the film is beautiful, evidentally- its not everybody's cup of tea. I think thats its a very modern adaptation of what you'd expect from your normal period piece, this film has attitude and is something worth seeing.
