Movie Review - Marie Antoinette

Marie Antoinette (2006)
directed by Sofia Coppola
rating: 1 out of 5 cravats
seen on the screen at Malco Paradiso

The surprise isn't that it's terrible. The surprise is how conventional "Marie Antoinette" is, and how much it probably shares - from manipulative classical score (nevermind the Strokes) to conservative social values to just-right historical detail - with Flags of Our Fathers.
