'Marie Antoinette' Oct 23, 2006
Trapped and powerless, she soldiers through the marriage and succumbs to the bizarre rituals and internecine rivalries of the court until the sudden death of the lusty and dynamic Louis XV (Rip Torn) grants the teenage couple the run of the country, at which point the queen begins to close ranks. What with the best-friend entourage (Mary Nighy as the Princesse Lamballe and Rose Byrne as the Duchesse de Polignac), the vindictive rival (Asia Argento as the infamous Du Barry), the gossipy...

'Marie Antoinette' sadly lost in translation Oct 21, 2006
There's a small amount of extremely uninvolving court intrigue, much of it having to do with Madame DuBarry (Asia Argento), mistress to King Louis XV (Rip Torn). But the focus is on young Louis' lack of sexual interest, or possibly sexual knowledge. (HeraldNet)
Coppola serves up French confection Oct 21, 2006
Thanks to her lovely bosom, however, she wins the favor of randy Louis XV (Rip Torn), whose mistress is snarling guttersnipe-sexpot Madame Du Barry (inexplicably Asia Argento). Torn s work is so reminiscent of Mel Brooks classic bit in his History of the World: Part I (1981), I kept waiting for him to exclaim, It s good to be the king. (Boston Herald)
'Marie' has style but no story Oct 20, 2006
Marie Antoinette* * (out of four)Director: Sofia CoppolaStars: Kirsten Dunst, Jason Schwartzman, Rip Torn, Asia Argento, Judy DavisDistributor: Columbia PicturesRating: PG-13 for sexual content, partial nudity and innuendoRunning time: 1 hour, 45 minutesOpens Friday nationwide. Marie' has style but no story. (USA Today)
Dunst makes royal ennui stylish in 'Antoinette' Oct 20, 2006
Marie Antoinette" is also the more shameless work of hipsterism. Behold Marianne Faithfull as Marie's mother. Look: Molly Shannon and Shirley Henderson as gossipy aristos. As Louis XV, Rip Torn plows through the movie like an enormous pig, and Asia Argento vamps along as his slutty mistress.Dunst is more than a bauble, though. No one will mistake Coppola for a discursive screenwriter, so the actress doesn't have much to say. But the director provides ample opportunity to show what a marvelously... (Boston Globe -- Living)
A head above the rest Oct 20, 2006
Dunst gets help from Jason Schwartzman, as the doomed monarch s equally doomed husband King Louis XVI (the pair were eventually guillotined), and from an eccentrically cast royal court that includes Rip Torn, Asia Argento, Marianne Faithfull, and Molly Shannon, but, when all is said and done, Dunst and Coppola will have to absorb most of the shock if the iconoclastic, ultra-modern translation bombs. And, as Marie Antoinette Coppola s third film, and her follow-up to the Academy Award-nominated... (San Antonio Current, TX)

'Marie Antoinette': lost in translation Oct 20, 2006
Then there's Rip Torn's old yet vital Sun King, whose lustiness sets in stark relief the sexual ineptitude of Jason Schwartzman's Louis XVI, who begins as royal dweeb and works his way up to dignified shnook ... MARIE ANTOINETTE Written and directed by Sofia Coppola (from Antonia Fraser's book) Starring Kirsten Dunst, Jason Schwartzman, Steve Coogan, Judy Davis, Rip Torn. (Newsday -- New York City)
A fancy court 'Marie' (Kelly Jane Torrance) Oct 20, 2006
What started out as a character study devolves in tableaux of gambling, shopping and lovemaking that waste one of the year's best casts -- besides Miss Davis, there's Rip Torn as Louis XV and Steve Coogan as the Austrian ambassador. In the process, the generic monarch loses all sympathy, and Miss Coppola's film ends up being all style, no soul. (Washington Times, DC)
Queen doesn't take the cake Oct 20, 2006
Starring Kirsten Dunst, Jason Schwartzman, Steve Coogan and Rip Torn ... Others, like Schwartzman (the director's cousin) and Rip Torn, who is the lecherous Louis XV, look like suburban Americans, from Long Island or New Jersey, perhaps. (Toronto Star -- Arts)
'Marie' is a lushly romantic confection of a film Oct 20, 2006
Marie snubs the mistress (Asia Argento, unrecognizable with her clothes on) of King Louis XV (a robust Rip Torn) because society dictates she should. In time she will find her own voice, though, applauding at the opera when it's not customary and sneaking out for a masquerade ball in Paris (where Siouxsie and the Banshees are on the soundtrack). (Pensacola News Journal)
'Marie Antoinette' is an Ambitious Drift Into Boredom Oct 20, 2006
Asia Argento plays Madame Du Barry, the mistress of Louis XV, portrayed with comic gusto by Rip Torn. And Danny Huston brings life into the ornate but moribund court. (FOX23.com, OK)
Shallow begets shallow in a look at 'cake' queen Oct 20, 2006

'Marie Antoinette' technically flawless Oct 20, 2006
MARIE ANTOINETTE Director: Sofia Coppola Cast: Kirsten Dunst, Jason Schwartzman, Rip Torn, Judy Davis Rated: PG-13 for brief sexuality ... About the only member of the court to treat Marie kindly is the reigning king (Rip Torn), a randy old goat who flaunts his lower-class mistress Du Barry (Asia Argento). (Seacoast New Hampshire)
'Marie Antoinette' drips with decadence Oct 20, 2006
Thank god for Rip Torn, who brings a full head of hedonism to that old goat Louis XV. As Louis XVI, Jason Schwartzmann is more wan than even a heavy-headed, clenched-mouth monarch ought to be; he makes you yearn for a young Stanley Tucci. For the most part, Dunst must carry the movie, and she nearly does. (SunSpot.net)

Supporting players get a few moments to shine, namely Christopher Walken as Dobbs' manager (in a role that screams for Rip Torn), Lewis Black as Dobbs' head writer and Jeff Goldblum as the sleazy lawyer for the evil corporation.

Blending insouciance with sophistication - Style - International Herald Tribune. Blending insouciance with sophistication. (International Herald Tribune -- Arts)
Talking from the side of his mouth as though swapping yarns at the Lion's Head, Rip Torn makes a swaggering Louis XIV; a confidently skanky Asia Argento is no less hilarious as his paramour Madame Du Barry. Coppola cousin Schwartzman is suitably diffident as the future Louis XV. Steve Coogan and Judy Davis are droll courtiers; Marianne Faithfull is an appropriately grand Empress Maria Theresa.

Ira Sachs's chamber piece, a winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance festival, is actually set in the present, but its shrugging, understated style will put you in mind of early Robert Altman: it could very easily be a pendant to his country and western fresco Nashville (1975), and the louring presence of Rip Torn at the centre only amplifies that anachronistic vibe. So Sachs wins good marks for taste straight off the bat. (Independent)

First, she won a screenwriting Oscar and became the first American woman to be nominated for best director, for "Lost in Translation." Now, with the quietly exuberant "Marie-Antoinette," costarring the wild mixture of Jason Schwartzman, Rip Torn, Judy Davis, Marianne Faithfull and Asia Argento, she has even bent history to her will, disarmingly blending her exquisitely modern sensibility with a potent re-creation of the salad days of the last queen of France. This is accomplished, impressive... (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, PA)
She leaves the Austrian court under the guidance of an avuncular ambassador (a droll performance from Steve Coogan) to be introduced to her new father-in-law - a scene-stealer from Rip Torn - and of course her new husband.
