Never Mind the Revolution

I'm totally enthralled by the trailer for Sofia Coppola's upcoming Marie Antoinette. Who would guess that New Order was the perfect soundtrack for what appears to be a straightforward period costume drama? who would even think of that combination? But for some reason it works - Age of Consent sounds fresher than anything and it adds a real sense that this film has vision and a sly approach interpretation. However, I'm started to feel like one of those crazed true believers because nobody else likes it - at best they think it's silly but somewhat amusing. At worst, "John Hughes with wigs."

I haven't learned the nice way of doing links, so I'll just have to leave it like this:
