Today I watched Sophia Coppola's Marie Antoinette. I don't understand why the Wikipedia entry has described it as 'lightweight", nor why it might have been booed at Cannes, nor why it had trouble at the box office, but then I don't understand why i have trouble either. What a magnificent film. I give it two of Ebert's thumbs and three of my own. And the soundtrack! Take a bow, Jean-Philippe Rameau, take a bow, Francois Couperin, take a bow wow wow.

I can't find a name on it or around it, but the guy who draws 'Duty Calls"made me laugh. Go and see if he's got any more.
Update: That's Randall Munroe's work. thanks, Auz.

ReplyDeleteRe: Marie Antoinette. Me too. I *adored* that film.
ReplyDeleteMarie Antoinette is great movie and I suspect the people who booed it didn't like it because it didn't star Tom Hanks...
ReplyDeleteHah hah... wrong on the internet. You made me LOL out loud :)
ReplyDeleteI've been meaning to check out this movie.
