Product Description: Marie Antoinette may be a period film, but don't expect minuets: Sofia Coppola's candy-colored portrait of the doomed queen moves to a punk beat. Whatever you think of how that approach works in the movie itself, it makes for a bracing two-CD soundtrack that's like a mix tape put together by a DJ particularly attuned to the tastes of 2006, not 1786. A dominant chunk of the selection is made up of vintage postpunk tracks, from Siouxsie and the Banshees' "Hong Kong Garden" to Gang of Four's "Natural's Not in It," from New Order's "Ceremony" to the Cure's "All Cats Are Grey." The giddily fun Bow Wow Wow offers a counterpoint to all that seriousness with three songs (two of them, including the iconic "I Want Candy," remixed by My Bloody Valentine's maestro Kevin Shields). Newer contributions come from acts as diverse as retromongers the Strokes and avant-electronicists Aphex Twin and Squarepusher, while Dustin O'Halloran (half of the L.A. duo Devics) contributes three nice, Debussy-style piano solos. The most conventional choices of the lot are a pair of harpsichord pieces by Couperin and Scarlatti, as well as Vivaldi's "Concerto in G," a chestnut that's got to be in every single film set in the 18th century. --Elisabeth Vincentelli


Customer Reviews


5 stars Great Price, Great Fast Service
The sound track I ordered, Marie Antoinette, arrived just as decsribed by the seller, and was in perfect, new condition. Thanks for the fast sevice. Killer sound track my the way! Enjoy!


4 stars A Great Collection of Music
I heart Sophia Coppola and her films. But I have always loved the soundtracks better than the movies. Maybe if she would apply the same attention to the film as she does the music, she would have a complete package.

These songs are a great blend of mellow, classical songs, as well as energized rock outs. If you are having a bad day, these cds will change your mood. The collection is strong and lively. And 2 cds for this price is a great deal.

The Strokes have my favorite song on the cd. I highly recommend for adventurous and eclectic tastes!


5 stars Musical Marie
Sophia Coppola does it again. Another amazing movie and a soundtrack to match. Valley girl sounds, mixed with alternative rock and orchesta melodies. The first disc is sassy with a majority of the danceable tunes, and disc two is what I listen to when I need to slow down and reflect. Similar to Coppola's first movie the Virgin Suicides, the soundtrack has songs that hit every mood. I can't believe I never heard of Air or Aplex Twins before these movies. It doesn't matter who is in the car, if I put on the Marie Antoinette soundtrack, everyone is bopping their heads and playing air drums to the beats, even my 57yr old mother. Hope she doesn't read this!


5 stars marie antounette
this CD is the soundtrack from the recent film starring Kirsten Dunst. I enjoyed the film so much and was enthralled by the musical soundtrack, featuring songs which reflected the different phases of the life of the unfortunate Queen, from the wonderfully vibrant Intro Versailles, to the I want Candy (when MA and her friends were living the high life) to Fools Rush In (her affair with Fersen) right through to the tragic ending of the film where MA and Louis XIV are driven away from Versailles by the angry mob to Paris, to imprisonment and their eventual executions.

A very evocative and moving musical experience.


5 stars Marie Antoinette Soundtrack
This cd was one of the best I've purchased all year! The collection of music chosen for the soundtrack works well in that all of the songs are different enough so that you don't get too much of the same thing, but are similar enough in that they are all modern rock/pop songs with an edge. Sorry this review wasn't the best as this is my first time reviewing anything for amazon, but I LOVED it and can't recommend it enough.
