Marie Antoinette (2006)

Synopsis: An Austrian girl is sent to France to marry the French prince.

Appraisal: Quite poor of ideas, looking like a music video much of the time; the kind of material affluence evoked by the modern songs is a fruit of modern democratic capitalism, not of absolute monarchy, which makes their use here quite misguided. In its own limited way, the film manages to convey some of the complex feelings a young woman goes through while trying to adapt to a foreign milieu.
