1335 Marie Antoinette

[domino harvey]

Coming in November

Sofia Coppola brings a candy-colored palette, a dreamy synth-pop soundtrack, and Converse high-tops to eighteenth-century Versailles for this exuberantly subversive, extravagantly stylized anti-biopic of one of history’s most infamous (and perhaps misunderstood) figures. Kirsten Dunst portrays Marie Antoinette as a rebellious teenage princess, who marries the awkward young dauphin of France (Jason Schwartzman), soon to be crowned King Louis XVI. Feeling isolated in a royal court rife with scandal and intrigue, Marie Antoinette defies both royalty and commoner by living like a rock star—which can work for only so long.

I live in France and bought day one the Pathé box set; the transfer of Marie Antoinette is nice but I can't wait to see a 4K transfer supervised by Lance Acord (that implied that perhaps we will have one day a Criterion 4K of Lost In Translation)

"I don't know what do to it myself" was also directed by Sofia Coppola; I remember its hypnotic power (the pole dance perhaps)

[Tuppence]

Odd that Eleanor Coppola's making-of documentary from previous releases won't be on there.

[The Narrator Returns]

That’s been expanded to feature-length and is being theatrically released by Mubi around when this is coming out, maybe they’ll do their own disc release of it too.
