New Generations of Film

Rating: 10/10 (28 September 2006)

There is only two words to sum up this amazing film... cinematic poetry Sophia did it again. It's been so long since I've sat in a theater and felt the riveting emotional range I felt tonight. This film was absolutely stunning and sophisticated. Rather than producing another biopic (which we all know are popularly contrived "gems" of the film industry for odd some reason), Marie Antoinette takes a fresh turn in a completely different direction. Rather than following a historical Plot line,Antoinette tells a much more personal story of a girl becoming a woman,in a cold world (Versailles). The story was laced with such subtle touching moments and great character portrayals of the young king and queen of France... What a beautifully rendered, intimate portrait... out with the biopic... in with MARIE ANTOINETTE !!!
