USA 2005
Marie Antoinette is a two-part documentary that
originally aired on PBS channels in the United States. Paramount and PBS are
releasing it in October 2006, undoubtedly to capitalize on the release of
Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette in theatres. This documentary takes
the recent revisionist view that Marie Antoinette was mis-understood and
inappropriately blamed for France’s general misery prior to the French
Revolution. Marie Antoinette argues that Louis XVI and Marie
Antoinette were simply sheltered teenagers, isolated from reality in
general. The documentary even argues that Marie Antoinette matured admirably
while in prison after being deposed. |

Comments |
Video: The 1.78:1 anamorphic widescreen image is generally soft and sometimes murky. Some scenes have black bars on the left and right, which leads me to believe that the footage may be comprised of mixed media (meaning the moviemakers used both film and video for their shoots). Audio: The Dolby Digital 2.0 stereo English is your run-of-the-mill, solid but undistinguished audio track. Optional English closed captions support the audio. Extras: There aren’t any real extras on the DVD, though there is a page that directs your attention to PBS webpages. --Miscellaneous-- An insert thanks consumers for supporting PBS. |
