Book Reviews of Marie Antoinette
Book Review: Great photographs, intense script.
Summary: 5 Stars
Keeping in line with the previous books pertaining to Sofia Coppola films, I have to say the book for Marie Antoinette is now my favorite. It's perfectly in line with the tone and style of the film, and the pictures are really wonderful. There are probably more that could've gone in to the book (the publicity campaign for this film delivered thousands and thousands), but the knowledge that these photos were the ones expressly chosen by Sofia as accessories to her script (the core of this book) give it a very intimate, coffee table by way of scrapbook feel. The script itself is the highlight, and sheds light on the original intended ending for Coppola's film, quite a departure from the already dark ending of the film in its theatrical release. I think this is a perfectly lovely book, and although I don't quite gather why so many feel so negatively towards this publication (I think it might've been the initial price, or simply that they didn't expect the book to be what it actually is), I would recommend it. Not to anybody, but if you are a fan of either Sofia Coppola or her latest film, Marie Antoinette, this is a really nice treasure that makes my coffee table a lot more interesting now. These books generally don't stay in print very long, and this is a steal of a price; try finding the Lost In Translation book from three years ago! Five stars, no question.
Summary of Marie Antoinette
Based on the book Marie-Antoinette: The Journey by Antonia Fraser, Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette is a powerful and sympathetic film of the tragic life of France's iconic and misunderstood eighteenth-century Queen. Shot entirely in France, much on location at the Palace of Versailles, the film is visually stunning, bringing together a cast that includes Kirsten Dunst, Jason Schwartzman, Rip Torn, and Marianne Faithful, and the extraordinary costume designs of Oscar-winner Milena Canonero (Barry Lyndon, A Clockwork Orange).A moving story of naivety and responsibility, reputation and misunderstanding, Marie Antoinette is a film that Sofia Coppola has wanted to make for years. In a book that is at once the personal chronicle of a major work and a beautiful tribute to the potential of film, featuring elements of the director's own screenplay as well as captivating stills, the director's personal photos, and original designs for costumes and sets, Marie Antoinette is an essential companion for any lover of modern cinema.
