Save your money and buy the original b&w; version starring Norma Shearer. The photography is vastly superior and the costumes, by Adrian are unmatched.The screenplay for this new version is a disaster and I believe Ms. Coppola (sp?) was off her medication or on a bad acid trip when she directed this and wrote the screenplay. Kirsten Dunst is miscast - a European actress would probably have been better. The contemporary music dates this movie and ruins the spirit. It's a shame that with access to Versailles and a great costume designer that the opportunity to film Marie Antoinette in color was wasted ...If you want to see a great French period piece in color, buy "Dangerous Liaisons".
