Affair Of The Necklace [2001] Movie Reviews on CinemaClock

This film as far as I am concerned had helped out to cement the most populist imsge of Marie Antoinette out of touch of her royality. I think that the reasoning is on account of the revolution. Everything was on the result of the machinations of Comtesse Jeanne de la Motte-Valois who had been trying to regain her family honor. What I had liked best in the film was the humour and I had been noted that it happened to be a historical and political drama. The costumes and settings had came in handy when the actual logic of the story had taken a stump or two. The affair of the necklace was about a country girl in a big city. Jeanne is taking under the wing of a court gigolo Retaux(Simon Baker) Retaux had taught our fair lady that the only way to get anything done at court is to know what your target wants. Obviously in this case wha the Queen did not want a diamohnd necklace weighing over 2, 800 carats. Jeanne unfortunately did not have the money to purchase this, but the Cardinal of France(Jonathan Pryce does. Cardinal Rohen did not want it also. He had wanted to be Prime Minister but could not get any quality of time with the Queen either. If the necklace had been a simple swindle, this whole story had shown that it could have been a knockdown winner. Problem was their is this thing called the French Revolution that had gotten in the way of simple story telling and leads to brief periods of confusion just right after the film had climaxed.
