I've sort of revised my opinion regarding Lost in Translation... it's a fine enough film but a bit... vacuous. I do adore Marie Antoinette, however... definitely unfairly maligned, I doubt a lot of its audience were willing to give this atypical "period piece" a try. The approach she uses really does illuminate some present-day parallels to the content, and the execution is simply dreamlike. I actually had to fight hard not to give it an A+ - it simply isn't at that level but its close.
A+ ~ a masterpiece A ~ a near-masterpiece A- ~ excellent B+ ~ great B ~ very good B- ~ good C+ ~ fine C ~ so-so C- ~ poor D ~ bad F ~ a complete failure

You seem to be quite a fan of Ms. Coppola... What do you like so about her films?
