I didn't like the 80's music in the movie at first, but then I warmed to it. Among other things, it conveyed a sense of Marie and Louis' adolescence and how they were put into roles they weren't ready for.
I love the soundtrack so much. I went out and bought both the DVD and the Soundtrack right after seeing it for the first time. I love how Sofia put traditional french instrumentals (especially the harpsichord pieces) and she also put a lot of 80s music in it. Very fun movie.
The movie is made to show us her lifestyle how she lives and her routine but if youre looking for her story and biography it wont satisfy u. It will only satisfy you visually
wonderful movie! the visuals, the art is wonderful. There are historical documentaries about it if you want to see facts. I just wanted to see art on the silver screen.
Actually, in the 18th century, people only bathed once a week, once a month, or even once a year. Aristocrats ate so heavily that when they went into their baths, they risked death because their metabolisms were so low. I believe Louis XVI bathed once a month, and Marie Antoinette was the stand-out: she bathed twice a week.
It was a beautiful movie, but Sofia is right when she says she really "knew nothing" about Marie Antoinette. Her facts and chronology are off and skewed. I wish Antoina Fraiser had more of a say in this movie.
Because they may not have had baths more than three times a year--totally submerged in a tub of water--doesn't necessarily mean that they never washed. They usually took "maid's baths," washing themselves from a bowl of water.

Sofia said she wanted to make the film through the eyes of Marie Antoinett instead of the typical portrayal
I find it amazing that they filmed this movie in Versailles! Also, the costumes are beautiful!

@JubalCalif i believe her last words were "Pardon me sir, I meant not to do it." after she stepped on the executioner's foot by accident.

Thank you for this; one thing is to imagine how maybe it al came togeher, another is actually seeing how that happened.
OMG, Fred Berger's a cutie!!!
I love you sofia
this were my fav scene of the 18th century.. untill i heard the fact that ppl only bath 3 times a year... i was like eewwwhh..
It's a shame she didn't clear up the Fersen Myth, but hey, sex sells, I guess. (My only serious hang-up on this film)
I loved the movie but find it strange that the director would choose to make a film over a topic she had never studied or researched.
the woman who makes costumes is italian ;)
