Very sad that she has been portrayed in such a poor light. Just a reminder that the history we remember is written by the victors, and not the impartial light of truth.

I remember visiting her castle during my trip to France, they said they beheaded her before the castle was fully complete. Too bad, it’s one sick place!:)

Well – I for one, thoroughly enjoyed the film. But it was clearly a modern hipster interpretation of Marie Antoinette as a historical figure, and not to be taken literally. If anything the film touches very strongly on her fashion sensibilities – she was queen of France for Pete’s sake, she had an image to uphold!

I can’t say I cared too much about Marie Antoinette when I learned about her as 15-year old in high school nor did I really care when the film came out. Oh well.
