This movie frustrated me! Why did Sofia Coppola make this film? The movie looked beautiful and there were some very nice shots. I couldn't figure out if Sofia purposely made a very shallow movie in order to say something about our celebrity worshipping times or the movie is just shallow.
Why do half the cast speak with French/European accents but Kirsten, Jason and esp. Rip Torn speak with modern American accents? Took me out of the movie. Maybe I shouldn't have watched this movie after seeing THE QUEEN. That movie also dealt with an isolated Queen and something to same about the cult of celebrity but it had depth.
I don't know how/why you make a movie about a Queen who reigned during such a turbulent time in history and reduce it to a long music video with some nice costumes, scenery and music.

oooh, THAT is really annoying, isn't it? Actors get paid millions of dollars and can't even do a proper accent.
BTW, tanks for alll your support recently.
niki - You're welcome. You must be happy to be back home with your family.
I think Sofia did not want them to have French accents. Another producer friend, loved the movie and thought it was funny. People are so divided on this one.
wow, i really loved this film. i agree that it is a video, but it caught that "hear we are now, entertain us" attitude...also she captured the lack or want of any responsibility... i walked out very happy because i enjoyed the subtle melancholy. the "i will stand by my husband" shit annoyed me, however.
