  • Shit film, great music.

  • best use of music in film within the last decade :)

  • I love you siouxsie sioux...

  • It's funny to see that music being played in one of those balls xD

    they match so strangely good :D Sofia did a great job~!

  • Sofia Coppola is such a great writer/director :)

  • this made me wonder what type of music really played in upbeat balls like those... i hope not boring old classical music(no offence i like classical but not for listening at parties like those)... or was it all just super boring.

  • @x0ticShwty I love how they used pop music in this film to show how exciting it would have seemed to Marie Antoinette at the time - of course we see it as boring music now but back then it wasn't!

  • Baz Luhrmann did much the same with his films "Romeo & Juliet" and "Moulin Rouge", LadyA. If you listen very closely, in one scene of "Moulin Rouge", they are singing T. Rex's song "Children of the Revolution", which was later covered by Violent Femmes on their album "Blind Leading the Naked".

  • This scene is the combination of various of my favourites things in the whole world. Siouxsie and the Banshees, XVIIIth Century, and of course Marie Antoinette movie!!!!!

  • This movie is so beautiful visually :)

  • Siouxsie and The Banshees is not POP!

  • S. Coppola is a genius

  • I always wondered what it would be like to dance to Siouxsie & the Banshees in the 1700's hahah.

  • the ending is so haunting.

    i loved how the director played with silence through out the whole scene with the angry mob to the end. truly beautiful movie.

  • favorite scene in the movie.

  • I hope the Obama's are paying attention to this message...HUGE DEFICIT + EXTRAVAGANT SPENDING = REVOLT BY THE PEOPLE! (Loved this movie and the music : ) )

  • @grettagip : Of course it wasn't Obama who racked up that deficit, but ol' Republican hero G. W. Bush.

  • Comment removed

  • @LadyAdokenai Siouxsie and the Banshees isnt pop music -_-

  • Where's the part wer that weird guy was talking to Louis??!!! That was my favourite part!! And it was rite there at the masquerade ball!! T.T

  • Siouxsie and the banshees is the soundtrack AMAZING POST PUNK FROM 80s!!!

  • This is such a good soundtrack!!! OH MY DAYS!! am in love with the movie ive never seen thanks to siouxsie !!x

  • My favorite scene in one of my favorite movies of all time! I really feel that I had a past life in the time of Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI, if I wasn't her herself! I've always somehow connected to and understood her.

  • 1700's prom!

  • I reckon Sofia Coppola has an amazing taste in music. :)

  • @SallyCinnamonette sooooooooo true! I absolutely LOVED the music of The Virgin Suicides

  • @saulgenius :

    Yeah, great movie! :)

    but you can't actually assert that she was the worst Queen ever. you don't know all the facts! and in many movies i saw a brave woman, and a 19 year-old girl becoming queen! i don't think you (or I !) would be so brave at 15, or 19. just look when she prostrates herself in front of revolutionaries in the movie! of course we can't say she was a great queen! ;) but that's my opinion! :)

  • @hed345 She was an extremely bad queen has she couldn't act like one thus couldn't be one. Definately her young age and poor education as how to be France's queen lead her to make bad decissions and become hated by the citizens. The worst in this is louis XVI who let her make such crazyness in a bad year as 1789 when france economy was in recession. She was send to france to have an education on how to become queen but who knew the king louis XV would die so soon after

  • @hillcon45 "Definately... as how to be France's queen bad decissions... The worst in this is louis XVI who let her make such crazyness... when france economy . She was send to france"

    ... Uhm, you're talking about her poor education when there's at least five spelling and several grammar mistakes in these few sentences alone? ;)

  • @Raidoman I'm sorry, After all my first tongue is french my second is german my third is english and I might got mixt up with italian classes. I'll make up for this. Je suis pas gêné de faire des erreurs dans ma troisième langue alors que j'en parle 5. I'm not ashamed to make mistakes in my third tongue when I speak 5. So next time instead of just beeing a jerk about it just help me in my learning of english okay?

  • Musiken, kläderna

  • Here's to the corpse. Corpse of decadence.

  • OMG the scene where the song actually starts just gives me chills, I want to be right there in the middle dancing and having fun lol. The music fit perfectly the costumes are to die for. You can just feel the whole atmosphere such a great scene in a great movie. I live this movie soooo much.

  • I loved this movie!

    But she was one of the worst Queens in history..people seem not to notice that in all the comments of her videos. -.-

  • hace unas semanas vi esta pelicula y me fascino!! la cancion ya la habia escuchado y esta buenisima!!

  • please have alook at my original vids.. you might find them interesting

  • @ArtaudianIshtar

    I love this movie.. yeah as an historical movie sucks but there is something about it that makes it so much fun to watch,,!! bloody hell the soundtrack is awesome maybe is that! ;D

  • I love this movie.. yeah as an historical movie sucks but there is something about it that makes it so much fun to watch,,!! bloody hell the soundtrack is awesome maybe is that! ;D

  • @ArtaudianIshtar it not relley i watched in histroy

  • Oh I love this movie, it makes me cry because everything was so beautiful and extravagant. And I hate that I wasn't or couldn't be apart of any of it!

  • I like it because the song (and the scene opening) gives the feeling of being young, pretty, dressed up and going out on the town for a night, knowing you're being admired by everyone you pass and seeing the big shining world opening up before you. I'm no Marie Antionette but when I was nineteen I remember feeling like that. :-)

  • The blond woman had a distinctive Jordan look... me wonders if the Bromley Contingent might have had a bit of influence in the look of the movie.

  • great movie!

  • Okay, period costumes dancing to late 70s Siouxsie. Amazing!!!!!!

  • Love this movie! Love this song!! *-*

  • Very beautifully in a film. Whether was as beautifully and in a life?

  • siouxie

  • I remember being frustrated after i watched this movie because I couldn't be there....

  • i agree, this moive is beautiful but so misunderstood.

  • @Maiseyyy I agree 100%.

  • @Maiseyyy So was the real Marie Antoinette

  • This movie is 4 ppl who love visuals, aesthetic ppl. Its a gorgeous movie so beautiful. this is probably my favorite scene

  • i love it!!!

  • Great film! <3 Very misunderstood.

  • using hong kong garden in this film is magic: )

  • SO EPIC.

    I feel like most of the critics who bashed this movie didn't really understand what Coppola was going for...

  • oh what i'd do to live a day in that time of the century. well, minus the french revolution part, haha.

  • Yeah as long as you were filthy rich you would like it. If you were poor (as most were) you wouldn't.

  • (@MizZuStoOd

    AND minus a working sewer system, reliable birth control and condoms, deodorant, shaving cream and razors?)

    The movie is a work of art--I can't imagine it being that good with a soundtrack dominated by period music rather than the modern artists it used. The costuming was incredible, and it really evoked the feeling of luxury and waste of "Madame Deficit's" lifestyle.

    Thanks for posting, shambolique.

  • There were no deodorants but they used a lot more of perfume to cover that (yuck...)

    shaving cream existed (sorta) and old-style razors too.

  • Yeah. Great the way she used 1979 punk/new wave like the Banshees, and All Cats Are Grey by The Cure, in a 1780s Paris context- and it works.

  • man, i wish life was as marvelous as a masquerade.....with that kind of dancing too as confusing as it is...

  • i lov e this version of hong kong garden, with the strings in the beginning, it's pretty. i wish i could go to any masque party thing. my school was supposed to have one, but they cancelled it

  • I wish I was at that party :(

  • me too! I love those feathers and all those pretty colours!!! :D

  • I LOVE THIS MOVIE

  • Yeah, it was a great part of the movie. Who would have thought that Siouxsie and the Banchees Hong Garden would be so cool in that context...

  • yea, great part of the movie

  • one of my favourite scenes in the movie, gotta love it!

  • great scene and great song.

  • the best part of the movie

  • This is so cool. I love how they incorporated this kind of music into that kind of film!

  • bello!

  • really the best song !!

  • favorite scene ♥

  • me tooooo

  • I love how well the pop music worked in Marie Antoinette! I thought it was a great, fresh idea for historical movies and it worked shockingly well!

  • @LadyAdokenai I am a found of Sofia Coppola's movies but, I can't let you say that movies is historical. This is de vision of Sofia Coppola to the french Queen, how beautiful is the story, it has nothing historical

  • @LadyAdokenai I am a found of Sofia Coppola's movies but, I can't let you say that movies is historical. This is de vision of Sofia Coppola to the french Queen, how beautiful is the story, it has nothing historical

  • @LadyAdokenai it is not pop it is POST PUNK

  • love this scene :D

  • It's from the 80s. Sofia Coppola was a teen in the 80s. That is your connection.

  • i loved this part,

  • Rather the dichess, is more deep and a has a deeper soundtrack, this movie is kind of superficial.

  • @ kirecherilyn: "superficial"? In my opinion, it's anything but. 'The Dutchess' is a period piece with a somber soundtrack. I found it heavy-handed. They practically held up cue cards telling the audience how to feel.

    'Marie Antoinette' is making a completely different point. The heroine isn't some bold, free-spirited woman making her way in a man's world: she's just a spoilt teenage girl under incredible pressure. The themes are entirely different.

  • I agree with what you said about Marie Antoinette, also I think that the reason most people didnt like this movie because it seemed sort of superficial and lacking substance, but how are you suposed to make a movie about the life of someone who, lets be honest, didnt really have very much of a life outside of all the material stuff. Just my POV.

  • I think superficiality was the entire point, how Marie was living a lavish lifestyle while the french people were starving in poverty

  • @mekkakid If we don't know how people are living somewhere in 2010 and we're middle class with media (which is bullshitting us quite a bit) how could a teenager know what's going on in a country if she practically never goes outside Versailles?

  • fucking DUH

  • i agree that the music was excellent in this movie

    it's telling us to look at this film as if it is happening today and not to look at it as a past

    so sofia uses modern music and it's fantastic especially the type of modern music music she uses that teens like marie antoinette try to represent themselves

  • It's amazing how well the music worked in this movie :):)

  • I've heard people say they hated the music in the movie because it didn't fit or work, but I agree with you. They did a fabulous job with the music. It works so well, you almost forget it's a *major* anachronism! (Like the sneakers!! hehe)

  • This is the best version of the song, I think lol!

  • I like this one... song & images

  • Great song........great scene!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i love that scene:)

  • Incredible movie, superb soundtrack! Hands of for Sophia!

  • the entire soundtrack of Ms Coppola's movie is a masterpiece....

    I was completely fascinated my the use of tracks like plain song, faith, ceremony....

  • not faith, but probably you mean 'all cats are grey' taken from 'faith'

  • ''Faith'' is the last track on the album (without sounding ostentacious!)

    Fantastic album though.

  • i thought the cure played 'all cats are grey'

  • Comment removed

  • it IS 'all cats are grey'. go learn some music dude or correct your tags.

  • yup yeah sorry it was all the cats are grey that I ment :)

  • I raised my hands in happiness when I heard Siouxsie on this! great soundtrack!

  • i love this part.

  • i feel bad at how marie antoinette was guillotined. its not her fault that she was spoiled like that. she actually wanted to help peasants by not buying diamonds and jewelry for herself. i dont think its fair because noone told her about how the people of frce were like

  • lmao the people of france are dancing to siouXSi & the bANSHEES

  • Which makes it really funny. :D

  • @seabass1123 We're always ahead of our times. Ahahahahaha! :) Just kidding. x)

  • 1:23 haha

  • Besides Sofia, Milena Canonero is the Best. Her style to do costume for movies are great.

  • This is one of the most beautiful films ever made...from the costumes and scenery to the architecture and interiors.

    The 'new' music just adds to its coolness. I think its just supposed to represent how they danced cuz obviously they did not listen to this kind of music.

    I just hate Kirsten Dunst in this role!!!! arghhh!!!!! That's the one thing I'll always despise

  • Best song, DLC for Rock Band

  • Peace and Love!

  • saw this part and freaked out! favorite siouxsie song!

  • Hehehe so this is where punk started ;P Love Siouxsie... Love the movie...

  • i love her dress

  • I love the style of this film!

    I felt that it was kind of like looking at a magazine!

    My favorite movie!

  • The dancing go great with the music!

  • This film is amazing~~ love it~!!

  • hong kong garden Siouxsie and the banshees aand you know everything

  • I'm so happy I saw Marie Antoinette...not only did I love the movie, but it got me hooked on SIouxsie and the Banshees and other groups!

  • Dude! Marie Antoinette is my FAVORITE historical figure! I even have a facebook group called Vote for me for Queen of France!!! So naturally of course I love this movie.  And this if my FAVORITE scene!!! and I love France too. Lived there for 2 semesters :-)

  • so jealous. i want to go to france!

  • i have this movie it is the best! ive watched it about 8 times already. i just got it. I LOVE IT!

  • my favorite movie.

  • a masked ball sounds like fun. you could make out with whomever you choose.

  • that was the problem for marie antoinette eventually: at the masked balls, hookers trolled. when marie antoinette went to them, and it took louis 7 years to consummate the marriage, people began to gossip that she, the dauphine, went to the balls also to pick up any guy for some anonymous sex. those stories were spread about her by her own brothers in law, to begin.

  • Didn`t know that.Scandal is gossip made tedious by morality.

  • LOVE THIS MOVIE ♥

  • That is the famous Grand Escalier at Garnier's Paris Opera House. It wasn't built until nearly a century after after the Queen was executed. It's a nice scene though.

  • at 0:52, thats how I wished my prom could have been. sadly no. :(

  • yeah marie antoinette! =D

  • I have only read the book on this, I would love to see the film, would anyone recommend it?

  • HELL YEAH!

  • how did you manage do get through that? Antonia just RAMBLES WAYYYY TOO MUCH!!!

  • I watched this film twice in less than 24 hrs! I have never done that before. This film will be on your mind long after seeing it! I want to live and breath Marie Antoinette. Sadly, i don't believe at this moment in time i can fit into a corset-ahem!

  • I did too! I was like OMG I HAVE TO WATCH IT AGAIN lol.. I love it and I feel the same way. I want to live and breath Marie Antoinette. Beautiful.

  • ...I think you don't know the story of your country. You are a shit, it's worse.

  • Here in France, the Revolution is much more appreciated than Louis XIV and Marie-Antoinette, who are not very appreciated characters. The film was booed at Cannes, but the reviews were good.

    You seem to know the History of our country. I'm glad if you do, but I do hope you are not learning French History through Coppola's movie, neither through big movie productions.

  • yes I know a little about French History and don't worry, I am not that kind of people who learn things throught movies.This attitude disguts me too

  • History is written by the winners.Marie Antoinette was Amazing.She is just so great.A victim of the history.

    And for those who thinks other way,well..."Let them eat cake."

    "qu'ils mangent de la brioche."

  • well i do know that she never said that! so yah i mean im not closed-minded or ignorant but i think that absolute monarchies are wrong and should b abolished so yah!!

  • really like what monarchy?a constitutional one? what r u medeival or something?:P

  • actually here in america we arent as free as we used to be..lol

  • isnt cake gateaux? at least that what i learned in french class...

  • Versailles High Scool's Homecoming Dance.

    I mean...they were a bunch of teenagers and young adults running France.

  • Yep! that is sure what happened.

  • agreed.

  • 3 queens: Marie-Antoinette/Siouxsie/Sofi­a! Joy before the storm...

  • whats with this movie and my favorite music?

    new order

    joy division

    siouxsie and the banshees

    they only need the cure!

  • copolla did use the cure lol

  • That is exactly what I thought when I was watching the movie.

    And Fools Rush In, by Bow Wow Wow. That's a good one too.

  • lame useing allthat great 80s music to a shit flick

  • i do dancing like that in my dance class (i take ballroom dancing) i absolutely love the music!! ^___^ goes well with the dancing scene

  • I'm fascinated by the choregraphy.

    It's so perfect, so chic, so Versailles !!!!

  • Sorry, but it's not located in Versailles but in Paris....At Court we followed a boring etiquette...

  • You're right..... but I haven't said it takes place in Versailles.

    I've just wanted to make a similar sense beetween these three words chic, Versailles and choregraphy.

    I didn't succeed if you didn't understand my comment. Sorry. Regards :O)

  • So far one of the best moments in the movie <33

  • Does anyone know what version of "Hong Kong Garden" this is?

  • Obviously it's an extended movie version. There's the original of this song on the "related video" side bar----->

  • Awesome! Watching now on Encore's WHAM! (Encore For Kids & Teens) How awesome is it to hear the opening of Siouxsie & The Banshees' "Hong Kong Garden" being played by an orchestra! I thought it was brilliant of Sophia Coppola to mix 80's New Wave into "Marie". It takes me back to the days of big hair, ruffles, "The Edwardian Look", & Adam Ant! {{{{^_^}}}}
