Marie Antoinette review

Rating: 8/10 (23 October 2006)

Personally I loved it Sofia Coppola is criticized by many for not having much dialog which can, in theory, be a hard task to keep the movie flowing with out it (which i think i experienced a bit of in Lost In Translation) however the visuals in this movie did a gorgeous job of this along with quick editing in a fresh 'jump cut' manner. I so enjoyed the lack of self indulgent monologues or drawn out professions of love or despair, instead you are allowed to insert the emotions you feel so deeply through the editing, the visuals, and expressions of the actor, Also with the little dialog it is almost as if you are invited to be a spectator, like a close friend to the movie's subjects and analyze them as you might guests at a party. Kirsten Dunst was much better than i had hopes for, subtle and believable and i particularly enjoyed Jason Schwartzman's Louis XVI. Over all loved it, Gorgeous visually and just an over all beautiful movie
