"Marie Antoinette" was a strange film that didn't seem to be completely historically accurate. Kirsten Dunst played the namesake while Jason Schwartzman played the king of France. Sofia Coppola's film mixed modern music in with this period piece, which was interesting, but probably not the best choice. If I could use one word to describe this film, it would be "indulgent." I suppose that was what they were going for, but the film felt like such a fluff piece. There were so many images of Dunst prancing around in various gowns and eating various desserts. There wasn't much substance to the film except the constant story about sex and the lack thereof between the various couples. The film did include the "let them eat cake" quote, but didn't include the famous ending to the story.
Overall, it was a disappointment. It gets 3 out of 5 stars.
