Scott-free: A.O. OKs Marie A.
And he has fine taste in musique, as he namechecks GO4 in the NYT: "The first sounds you hear in Marie Antoinette are the abrasive guitar chords of the great British post-punk band Gang of Four. The effect may be jarring; this is not the kind of thing you normally associate with the 18th century. But the song turns out to be bracingly apt. The first lines invoke "the problem of leisure/What to do for pleasure," one of the chief problems the title character will face. And the name of the song is "Natural Is Not in It," a fitting motto for a film that conjures a world of pure and extravagant artifice." [Trailer.]
