Description
This 2 LP set is the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack to Marie Antoinette, the new Sony Pictures film by Sofia Coppola. Matching Coppola’s modern take on the story of this 18th Century leader with a mix of ‘80s new wave, electronica, and classical works from artists ranging from Siouxsie and the Banshees (“Hong Kong Garden”) and The Cure (“Plainsong,” “All Cats Are Grey”) to Antonio Vivaldi (“Concerto in G”).
The music reflects Coppola’s intention to tell the story in a modern way. While writing the script, she found inspiration from the New Romantic pop music movement of the 1980s — which was itself heavily influenced by 18th century ideals of extravagance. New Romantic artists such as Bow Wow Wow (“I Want Candy) and Adam Ant (“Kings of the Wild Frontier”) celebrated glamour, luxurious fashion, and hedonistic fun during that period as a kind of counterpoint to both the boredom of classic rock and the primal anger of punk music. Coppola saw the music as a modern lens through which to view Marie Antoinette – and songs such as “I Want Candy” seemed to serve as a perfect, modern expression of Marie Antoinette’s impulses to find fulfillment through pleasure.
