Marie Antoinette

11/19/12 | celebrity, giveaway, movies


Sunday’s are movie days unless I have other plans – and even then, I try and squeeze in a movie.  Today it was the 2006 film Marie Antoinette and what was missing in the plot was made up for by the costumes, created by the  fantastic Milena Canonero.  Kristen Dunst and the rest of her court stunned parading around Versailles.  Ever since I visited in the French palace in 2003 it has been my dream to live in a place like that, a dream of a little girl, I know but dreams have never hurt anyone.  This movie absolutely deserved the 2007 Oscar for the Best Achievement in Costume Design. 

Marie Antoinette is quite possibly the most famous Queen of France and was the reigning royal throughout the French Revolution.  She became the queen at 19 alongside her husband Louis XVI, who in this day in age might be considered a pushover.  Her spending habits, drinking, parties, and gambling were out of control – whoops!


Sofia Coppola dis a great job writing and directing this film and I highly recommend it!  The costumes were absolutely gorgeous and incredibly  ornate  – every scene seemed like the characters were going to a  ball – a perfect choice when depicting the extravagance of the French aristocracy. Marie Antoinette  swiftly became an abominable hallmark of aristocracy in France.


Have you watched the 2006 film Marie Antoinette?

    I haven’t seen the Movie yet, but what I’ve read about Marie Antoinette is enough.
    I have 2 words to say about her… her love for gorgeous Mules & her end by the Guillotine. 😀

    P.S.: congrats to the 3 Winners!

    I’ve seen it before! I’m not usually a big fan of Kirsten Dunst but I did enjoy this movie a lot. I really like period pieces so that’s probably why!

    Congrats to the winners! I LOVE this movie…own it actually. I liked how the main focus was on the artsy feeling of the production (with the music and type of filming) rather than the history. The history was still accurate, but it showed how her life was lived, as a party girl. They didn’t try to paint her as a villain as the rest of the population viewed her (perhaps rightfully so.)

    She did such an amazing job in this film and we are so excited to visit Italy in 2014! Then I can put all these amazing scenes to life 🙂

    I’m a huge fan of Sofia Coppola, so I pretty much love anything she does. I have to say, my favorite (so far) is still Virgin Suicides, though!
