Just to begin, everyone should find and listen to the soundtrack to Sofia Coppola's newest film, Marie Antoinette. I have this really great affection for Sofia Coppola--The Virgin Suicides was one of my first favorite movies (the book, incidentally, is also really beautiful). When I heard a year ago that she was working on a new movie, I was ecstatic--but less enthused when I learned that not only was her movie going to be a historical film [ugh], but it would be based on Marie Antoinette [oh no], and set to an 80's soundtrack [dear Lord]. I thought I was about to witness the end of Sofia's young career.
