:: MOVIES ::
from Sophia Coppola (Lost In Translation) comes a new(age) period-biopic = Marie-Antoinette. see the movie trailer :here: [via AICN]
"Based on Antonia Fraser's biography of Marie Antoinette, a naïve 14-year-old Austrian and queen of France. At a young age, she was arranged to marry Louis XVI and was very unprepared for the woes of politics. She continued to be ridiculed by France and was decapitated during the French Revolution." [via IMDB]
"decapitation"; not inclusive, i'm afraid ~ as this biopic shows her royal-teenage-angst-life (*heh*) prior to that ... starring Kirsten Dunst, seemingly giggling and shuffling away in what seems to look like a period-Virgin Suicides, except in overblown-frocks and mountain-high hairpieces,and of coz the promise of a near-nudie scene but of coz im being nitpicky ... :p
but what actually "engaged" me; was the usage of New Order's "Age Of Consent" (from their album Power, Corruption & Lies) as the trailer-score/music = which i thot was a tad jarring at first, which then lapsed intopseudo "genius", as it paints the "spectacle" as a more "palatable" offering to the current (retro-)pop-culture-masses; to be "relevant", mayhap in tone and approach? as opposed to the stuffy period-dramas like Dangerous Liaisons; et al (*yawn*) ... and of coz the pseudo-punkrawkish-sex-pistolish-title-banner graphic at the end of the trailer is pretty telling in the way in which this flick is geared towards, innit? IMHO, of coz ... and mayhap i find myself interested for more? *heh*
