Let them eat cake
I had high hopes for “Marie Antoinette,” but having struggled to stay awake through the most recent trailer, I am becoming considerably worried about this film. “Lick the Star” was a brilliant short film, “The Virgin Suicides” had big problems, but also great promise, and “Lost in Translation” was nothing short of a masterpiece. Sofia Coppola was fast becoming one of my favorite directors. It pains me to say that “Marie Antoinette” is beginning to look like a disaster, despite its brilliant teaser trailer. Everyone deserves a misfire here and there, but not one as lavish and costly as this stinker.
Filmrot’s recent review doesn’t exactly fill me with confidence. Have a look.
