"marie antoinette"
i'm watching "marie antoinette," which i have wanted to see for some time (if only for the costumes), and i'm finding it's odd, like baz luhrmann's "romeo + juliet," only slightly less obvious. and not quite so well orchestrated. it should be a period piece, but modern elements have blended into the film. for example, marie and her ladies in waiting have crashed a masked ball in paris, and siouxsie is playing. i know, right? i approve, and yet i'm confused.
i'm also bothered by the fact that marie is an american. i didn't expect french with subtitles, but continental english would have been more appropriate somehow. everyone else seems to be english.
edit: some of the scenes between kirsten dunst and jason schwartzman feel like watching a high school play.
