Her stuff I find is usually very interesting. Sometimes it works better than at other times. I mean she's got Barry Lyndon, Clockwork Orange and Titus... definitely an interesting designer. But there's bound to be a miss somewhere. I love Sandy Powell's costumes too but you also get hits [Interview with the Vampire, Shakespeare in Love, Velvet Goldmine] and misses [Gangs of New York] with her. Both designers like to push the envelope, so to speak. That can be exciting...but dangerous. It's a shame, IMHO, that filmmakers think they have to make Mozart a rock star and Marie a Paris Hilton to make their stories relevant for modern audiences. ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
RE: [h-cost] Marie Antoinette
I would like to see the film, but living in Omaha, NE, I may have to wait for the video. It may be one of the films I watch just to see where accuracy in history and costuming goes out the window in favor of present-day esthetics. But sometimes those movies are fun, anyway. I did preorder the book about the making of the film from Amazon.com, but wonder now if it will even be published, stateside, if the movie promises to tank. I wonder if the movie will be tinkered with between what was seen at Cannes and what we may see in October. From the brief clips and the online preview it looks as though the costumes are fairly accurate, but amped up in glamour to look attractive to present-day eyes. And, of course, there's nary a speck of dust to be seen! Cindy Abel ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

I didn't want to do a historical epic, Coppola said ... What she wanted was an impressionist portrait, a retelling based on Lady Antonia Fraser's best-selling revisionist biography... Well, at least they aren't pretending it's an accurate and true re-telling of the events, like some other films have done.

Re: [h-cost] Marie Antoinette
Hi, I believe i read somewhere that Marie Antoinette, replaced all her maids of honnour with young and pretty ladys same age as herself, and skipped the oldfashioned and ugly famillies from her court. Many of the old an honnourable famillies was shocked and angry about this, but she really did. Now i dont know if those young new ladies were anorexic, but you are right about it looked a little monotone in the movie. Marie Antoinette herself were not anorexic looking at all, she had a litttle chubby look herself. For those of you who really would like to read a book about her, i warmly recomend to read Stefan Zweigs book Marie Antoinette I dont think any have ever got that close to the past as he did with this.

Re: [h-cost] in search of a lost person
I was laureled back when Artemisia was still a fairly young principality in Atenveldt, and with one (very inactive) exception, am actually the oldest laurel in the whole state of Montana. Blackwork (and other forms of counted-thread embroidery) grabbed me really, really fast, and a year or so after I first joined, I set out to do what I thought would be a relatively simple project. Clear graphs, basic Holbein stitch, good linen and black silk thread. My first big project, pretty much all self-taught because there just wasn't anyone, for 100s of miles, doing anything even remotely similar. I reproduced the cuffs on the Holbein portrait of Queen Jane. On 60 count linen. And loved it. And have been doing it ever since. At any rate, peerages back then were pretty much all drive-by's, with a little more attention paid to the Chiv. No warning, no special outfits, no vigils, nada. Wham, bam, thank you ma'am...next? sort of thing. The day I got nabbed was at an event with really horrible, muddy weather, and I knew *something* was up, because someone who'd been trying to get my whole name down (spelling and pronunciation) was a little TOO obvious. (My SCA name is in an older form of Irish, and it's long, and pretty unpronouncable to most Sasenachs ;o). Court that night was held in a small building, without electricity, just a few coleman lanterns. My reaction, when I realized it was me, and what they were doing, was pretty much oh, shit! (in a nice way). The scroll was a marker-colored photocopy on some sort of dreadful fake parchment, the ink of which ran in the rain that weekend. The king and queen, who happened to be from the Sun and also happened to be the same people who'd given me an AoA a couple of years before, were later banished from the Society. I am moderately sure I'm mostly a blackwork laurel because that was one thing mentioned in the ceremony, although I was really involved in other things as well (late period costuming, primarily, and some cooking). It's just that I'm mostly known for itsy-bitsy blackwork. I adore the simplicity and clarity of monochrome embroidery, and would really love to do some extended research into the various forms it takes in different ethnic groups--contrasting, say, the different styles of early and late 16th century England, with Spanish, and German, and Italian, and French, and all of the loverly, loverly Islamic stuff...*sigh* ;o) I should add, my Pelican ceremony (that's a service award, for you non-SCAers) was even stranger. I seem to attract weirdness.
