Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette

Simply put, Ms. Coppola has managed to create a visually stunning bit of drivel. She's got the sets and costumes all right. Some of the shots are glorious to see. The use of color and light are really quite lovely. The locations were amazing (you can't really go wrong with Versailles and the French countryside). Aside from that it's a lot of fluff and nonsense. The work of an immature nature. If she weren't a Coppola there is no way she would have been able to get the money to create this movie. It's a shame.

And I must also add that Kirsten Dunst's voice as Marie Antoniette is grating.
