I love movies. Like books, I love getting lost in them.
I watched Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette the other night. I could watch it over and over and over and over. The movie as a whole was ok, kind of boring, except. Except for the overall Art Direction. BRILLIANT!!!! Eye candy. Totally. And as a lover of fashion, the costumes were just breathtaking. The colors, the fabrics, the sets, the jewelry, the shoes (did you catch the pink converse?), the hair, and even the food. I just drank it all up. In fact, I want the DVD so I can pause over each scene and drink it in even more. The lighting was just perfect for all the colors and textures and fabrics. The hair was delicious. Makes me love rich pastel-ly fruity color combinations.
I found this wonderful site: The Costumes of Marie Antoinette | The Movies and the Woman, that can tell you more about the pictures and history of the costumes, and which costumes can be seen in other films. Prepare to spend a few hours, it’s a great resource.
