Marie Antoinette

See previously, really - it's just as lovely on a second viewing, with the added pleasure of being able to anticipate favourite scenes and moments. Also, having listened so much to the soundtrack in recent days, the music served as a real connecting thread and it was nice to hear (and place) all of the songs in the context of the particular scenes in which they appear.

It came at a cost, though - I had a lot of trouble sleeping last night,[*] in part because of the images running through my mind and in part because first "Tommib Help Buss" (the dreamy, melancholy soundtrack to the morning after the birthday party) and then "Keen On Boys" were stuck in my head. Needless to say, a price worth paying.
