Disappointing Sophia Coppola's vision

Rating: 2/10 (26 June 2012)

Marie Antoinette – TRASH IT (C-) Marie Antoinette the Beheaded Queen of France's story is nothing but an incredible journey. He journey starts from innocence in Austria and end up being one of the most fashion icon and most hated Queen of her time. Now Sophia Coppola's version doesn't do any justice to her story or life. She may have been able to capture her fashion scenes and costumes but a great story needs a great story teller. Unfortunately it lacked a great story teller. Sophia wasted major portion of the movie in Marie Antoinette' unconsummated married life and it becomes tedious after 30mintues. Kirsten Dunst is good as Marie Antoinette I wouldn't say great as she didn't had much to do except wear huge clothes and dress up pretty. Jason Schwartzman is wrongly cast as French King. Not only he is that great of an actor but a King or then French that's little too much. Asia Argento relives her Mistress role of "Une vieille maîtresse". Jaime Dornan is a good looking lad and CK billboard's all over the world proves that. Overall, Marie Antoinette's great story is lost in Sophia Coppola's terrible screenplay and direction. Who knew that a woman directing a woman's life was "Bad Idea" all together?
