Book Reviews of Marie Antoinette
Book Review: A picture paints a thousand words
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this book on a whim and I am happy that I did. The photos are absolutely superb. Just gorgeous. Its a nice little companion for the film. I only wished that some photos were larger and that there was a larger selection. Most of the photos in it are just the promotional photos I have seen everywhere online. But still a wonderful book to display on a table.Book Review: AS IDIOTIC AS IT'S AUTHOR
Summary: 1 Stars
This woman has no shame! A book to commemorate a cinematic mess ! ! !
But then, how could a woman with a mustache attempt a film about an 18th century icon?
Rock "music" - INDEED!
Book Review: Almost perfect
Summary: 4 Stars
The pictures were just what I wanted and I liked seeing the script. However, I wish there would have been more insights into the filming from Sofia Coppola.Book Review: An explosion of pastels and personal beauty...
Summary: 5 Stars
I've just received this book in the mail today, I am not only a fan of Ms. Coppola's films but her photo books as well. This completes my collection so far as I have her previous three (The Virgin Suicides, Lost In Translation and SC 2003) books plus this one. I have been hesitant to peek inside as I'm waiting for the film to be released but it's presented beautifully. The photographs are complemented by a narration from pages of the film script which adds a personal touch from the director to the reader.
This book is a great buy to any fan of Ms. Coppola's as well as any film or photography book collector. You will see in these pages that truly no detail was spared.
Book Review: Disappointed- Not what I expected
Summary: 2 Stars
I have been giddy with excitement for this film to open. I've always been interested in Marie Antoinette and I actually played her charactar in a play when I was younger, so when I saw this book I became overjoyed and bought it. I guess what I was expecting was a story-form version of the movie (which I've not seen yet- it releases tomorrow) but instead I received what seems to be an over-priced copy of a screen-play with decidedly few lines (I read through it ALL in 20 minutes if that...) that shows no emotion nor pulls you in. It shows some shots from the movie, that are medium quality at best and some - I dare say - low-quality and blurry photos. I am disappointed that I paid so much for something that I guess I thought would be very different.
Bottom line: If you are looking for a keepsake because you love this movie or Sofia Coppola in general, than go for it and spend your money. But if you are looking to read the book version of the movie, then DO NOT buy this. This is a screenplay only and nothing more, unfortunately.
