Anachronistic music destroys bad film

Rating: 3/10 (29 September 2006)

Amazing how bad directors think they're so cute when they use pop songs. They get all excited at the idea of playing record producer and completely ignore the dramatic demands of the film.
Marie Antoinette is a great example of the complete intellectual laziness of that approach.
Instead of making the film fresh and inspiring, the use of pop songs, especially given that this is a period piece, makes the film even more trite and boring than it already was.
Add to that that Kirsten Dunst is really not the best of actress in the first place and you have another dud from Sofia Coppolla.
