Marie Antoinette

Last sunday I watched Marie Antoinette (I also have watched it in the cinema's) directed by Sofia Coppola and the leading actress is Kirsten Dunst. Well one song in this movie gives the right mood 'I like candy'. Everything is so sweet in this movie, from pink dresses to little dogs that look like furballs. And Kirsten dunst looks sweet too.
Well enough about sweetness, it's just a fantastic movie. Don't expect a storyline that wirls in action but sit back in your chair and enjoy the beauty and decadence of Versailles, the brilliant acting of Kirsten Dunst and the absolutely fantastic clothesing. And for the ones who are afraid of her execution, it won't be shown!

Dumplings

A strange, very strange movie. I think this described the Chinese movie 'Dumplings' perfectly, directed by Fruit Chan. Yu could say the story is a bit sick, but in a way the movie is very attracting. The camerashots are wonderful, thanks to Christopher Doyle (2046, in the mood for love). The acting of Bai Ling, Miryam Yeung and Tony Leung is great, they each give a special personality to their character.
It's about a woman that wants to be young again. This quest leads her towards a mysterious woman that seem to have some famous 'Dumplings' that will bring her eternal youth. What is the secret? A strange, sometimes disturbing movie about the crazyness of the modern beauty, to stay young and beautiful no matter what the price will be.
