An insight - a window into - but not a film for MA uneducated

Rating: 4/10 (22 January 2007)

The film is an insight to the world of Marie Antoinette, a window into her world. If you do not know the story of Marie Antoinette, you will not learn anything here.
MA is a visual feast, the outfits, the decor of the Palace of Versailles (the actual Palace was used!). Kirsten Dunst was OK here, Schwarz was... i can't pin a good negative word, Rose Byrne was annoying, Judy Davis was wooden here (as it looked the role required), but Steve Coogan & Marrinne Faithful were good. Danny Huston was great as Emperor Joseph, Anntoinettes brother.
To see some things that are not shown in many of these 'genre' of films (royal biography films?) but in large Marie Antoinette is a Lost in Translations (her earlier and very popular film) version of Marie Antoinettes' life.
As people with even a small knowledge of Marie Antoinette, know she loses her head... and it is not even seen here!! Why? Ripped off.. show the full story if you wish to show her life story...
