hey kids! i can't even begin to tell you how behind i am on watching movies (shame on me!) my netflix choices have actually collected dust! the good thing though is a line does exist (in my mind) and marie antoinette was at the very top! my good pal joey let me borrow her DVD for the weekend and last night i settled into kirsten dunst take on the one-time queen of france!
i had a feeling i'd be totally into it based on everything i read plus sofia coppola is a kick-ass director - gosh i adore the virgin suicides (one of the best soundtracks ever) which after seeing i read the book (even better) by jeffrey eugenides and fell completely in love with the twisted suburban tale (quick funny aside - i had a friend in NYC and her landlord was mr. eugenides in brooklyn and she said he was a total asshole!)
ok back to marie antoinette - in a quick nutshell - i fucking loved it! totally my type of film (my pal nathaniel from film experience named it his top film of 2006) not your typical period piece by any means - it's stylish & indulgent - just how i like things! ms. coppola for sure made a real artsy film (the modern & way cool soundtrack absolutely works) i can see why it didn't pull in huge dollars at the box office but for me (in my always humble opinion) the movie captured 100% of my attention (that's a really hard thing to do!)
the film also spurred me on to do a little research on the real ms. antoinette - oh my word - in the end she lost her head...literally! kudos to everyone involved on this film - if you haven't seen it - i totally recommend it but i wouldn't twist your arm over it - it's not for everyone - i'm sure you all know by know that my tastes can be a bit off beat! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!
PS you really do learn something new everyday - today i realized that pink lemonade is just lemonade mixed a hint of grenadine - who knew?!?
