Product Description

From Amazon.com
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

5.0 out of 5 stars Rockin' and Ethereal Beauty!!, Feb 13 2007
By vintagegirl "vintage girl" (Waterloo, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette (the movie) was dreamy, charming, ethereal and sad. Hence the CD follows suit and is fantastic! Disc 1 is upbeat and rockin', while Disc 2 is more moody and dream-like. Can't stop listening! Beautiful!! Can't help thinking about all those beautiful Manolo's when I hear "I Want Candy". Sigh ---- sometimes I think I was born 200 years too late.
