Subs are yellow. (Has there ever been a Sony release with white subs?) I'm sure "Cribs With Louis XVI" (directed by Roman Coppola, incidentally) will pop up on YouTube eventually, but at the risk of sounding churlish, it only has one or two decent gags and feels awkward for the most part. That said, they do a pretty good job of approximating/parodying the "Cribs" style, even though I have a Hi8 camcorder that looks better than whatever they used.

Pardon my ignorance, but I assume by your writing that English is not a problem for those on this forum so why does it matter if an English-language film has yellow or white subs. I hate yellow subs as much as the next person but I really don't care what colour they are on an English-language film as I never use them. I understand that for many people English is not their first language and thus require the use of subs but it wouldn't be anyone in this forum, so why bring it up? Just curious.Lino wrote:An enthusiastic review from DVDTalk.
Has anyone got this? I'd like to know if the subs are yellow or white, this being a Sony release.

Quite a few members of this forum speak English as a second-language. Even as fluent as most of them are, I can imagine that subtitles would be very helpful for certain films. Hell, I'm a native English-speaker, and even I need subtitles for British films sometimes.marty wrote:I understand that for many people English is not their first language and thus require the use of subs but it wouldn't be anyone in this forum, so why bring it up?

That's my case. My first language is Spanish and I always turn on English subs no matter what type of film I'm watching. Never use Spanish subs.tryavna wrote:Quite a few members of this forum speak English as a second-language.

Well, firstly: yellow subs are HIDEOUS! And besides, Marie Antoinette is such a beautiful film that the very thought of having to endure that particular nuisance all throughout its duration is pure agony.marty wrote:Pardon my ignorance, but I assume by your writing that English is not a problem for those on this forum so why does it matter if an English-language film has yellow or white subs.

Secondly, portuguese is my first language but I always use english subs when watching any kind of film (sometimes even on portuguese ones just to check out on the translation or just for the fun of spotting mistakes) because it helps me to keep the language alive, so to speak.
That said, I'll wait for a portuguese edition of MA because I just know that it won't carry yellow subs in it. I'm that partial, you know.

I just finished watching this tonight. The film is well made and their are nice examples of montage, match cuts, especially the scenes of the shoes, and even a few jump cuts. Overall I think this film displays that Sofia Coppola is a woman with a vision and an eye for detail. At times I felt as if she were channeling Minnelli and Lubitsch. The art design and costumes are elaborate and wonderful. The colors of the film are rich like all the cakes and sweets that Marie and the other people eat throughout the film.
One of the most interesting things which Sofia does is to illustrate how this young woman was thrust into an awkward situation with a young man who is equally awkward. We watch as the two of them try and find common ground, satisfy the desires of Louis XV, as well as the people of France. To me this feels like the third part of what may be thought of as her trilogy of films about the maturation of young girls into womanhood both socially and sexually. Had a man made this film I believe that Marie would be less human and more of a caricature. This is a film that deserves to be seen and to have received a bit more respect for the scope and ambition displayed. I wait patiently to see what Sofia's next project will be.

I love this film. In my top three of 2006 films. Coppola's assured direction and her unflinching attitude towards non-conventional narrative structure is a breath of fresh air. I cannot wait for her next film. Sofia Coppola is the best director of the current crop of her generation by the biggest margin imaginable.
