Product Description
Review
Premiere, 10/01/2006, p.40, 3.5 stars out of 4 -- "[A] thoroughly delightful and, yes provocative picture....Disguised as a confection, and most effective as a cinematic intoxicant." Box Office, 07/01/2006, p.54, 3 stars out of 5 -- "Undeniably a feast for the eyes and ears..." Ultimate DVD, 03/01/2007, p.101, 3 stars out of 5 -- "[A] heady, contemporary vision of events that vividly captures the lavish decadence and the superficiality of a snide aristocracy, all set to an eclectic pop and classical soundtrack." Rolling Stone, 11/02/2006, p.88, 3.5 stars out of 4 -- "With lyrical intelligence and scrappy wit, Coppola creates a luscious world to get lost in. It's a pleasure." New York Times, 10/20/2006, p.E26, "Dreamy and decadent, the film is also touching, funny and bracingly modern." Movieline's Hollywood Life, 09/01/2006, p.100-101, "[A] visual triumph....Coppola plunges us into an exotic world; she completely envelops us in Marie's daily rituals." Entertainment Weekly, 10/27/2006, p.51, "[T]he work of a mature filmmaker who has identified and developed a new cinematic vocabulary to describe a new breed of post-post-postfeminist woman." -- Grade: B+ Total Film, 11/01/2006, p.37, 4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]his is a punk film, one to shun stuffy straightjackets much as its heroine did during her life....The soundtrack's perfect..." Premiere, 01/01/2006, p.48, Included in Premiere's "10 Best Movies Of The Year" -- "[C]lever, cheeky, and, yes, relevant."

Product Notes
Sofia Coppola follows up her Oscar-winning LOST IN TRANSLATION with her most ambitious effort yet. Based on the book MARIE ANTOINETTE: THE JOURNEY by Antonia Fraser, Coppola's film infuses modern pop-culture elements into a regal, historical biopic, resulting in a strikingly original work. Kirsten Dunst plays Marie Antoinette, a 14-year-old Austrian who is about to wed France's next king, Louis XVI (a fattened-up Jason Schwartzman). Her new life is a constant barrage of pomp and circumstance, which baffles the otherwise ordinary teenager. While love has nothing to do with the union between Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI, producing an offspring does. Unfortunately, Louis XVI shows no interest in having a physical relationship with his willing wife. Instead, Marie Antoinette begins to embrace her life of royalty, biding her time by shopping and partying and living the life of a spoiled teenager. As time passes, Louis XVI works out his problems and soon the couple has begun to bear children. But eventually, the impoverished French people become fed up with the disparity of wealth between the royal family and the average Frenchman, unleashing a revolt that would change the course of history forever.
