2006, Won Cannes Golden Palm Award and an Oscar for costumn design. If you like period pieces in film, this one is entertaining. If you have ever visited Versailles, this film is a must to see. About the entire film was done in the rooms and gardens of Versailles. It's exciting to see a scene where you were standing, like the fountains, courts and Marie Antoinette's bedroom. However, it has that stiffling feeling of being smuthered in too much perfect beauty. Her life must have been very boring. You can understand why she probably had no idea how the French population lived or suffered.
The ending could have shown her inprisonment and beheading, but no, they just couldn't do it, -instead the ending shows their escape from Versaille, slowly in the sunset. They want to make you feel good to the very end.
I'm having difficulty finding good films on NETFLEX but this one is worth about ****. I am open for some good recommended films.
