Marie Antoinette: "Hong Kong Garden"

[@mariahspapaya]

This movie was so beautifully executed honestly and the album being so perfect is just icing on top

[@zoefang4563]

Sofia Coppola is brilliant

[@georgemercury9599]

The movie was as beautifully executed as the real Marie Antoinette was😅 jk, it's a brilliant film!

[@larry5466]

clever

[@olexia07]

OMG the scene where the song actually starts just gives me chills, I want to be right there in the middle dancing and having fun lol. The music fit perfectly the costumes are to die for. You can just feel the whole atmosphere such a great scene in a great movie. I live this movie soooo much.

[@mystidemarco3801]

Totally agree!!!! My favorite scene

[@alexanderscott1087]

Fucking epic movie and song.

[@LadyAdokenai]

I love how well the pop music worked in Marie Antoinette! I thought it was a great, fresh idea for historical movies and it worked shockingly well!

[@mauropodda3565]

I totally agree.

[@danthemode]

This scene is the combination of various of my favourites things in the whole world. Siouxsie and the Banshees, XVIIIth Century, and of course Marie Antoinette movie!!!!!

[@jcelinacoffee]

This film had the most inspired and fitting music

[@adjojosjoe4689]

its like a night club back in 18th century

Watching this scene is where I discovered siouxsie and the banshees... Fucking obessed with siouxsie!

SAME

[@ChicanoPhD]

Good obsession. I've been obsessed with them since the 80s.

[@FerrariCarr]

LOVE this scene! I wish I could attend parties like that, where people are just all having a good time and not really caring about tomorrow.

[@tfchin]

If I was a billionaire, I would throw a separate Marie Antoinette prom for my kid's high school for any kids who would want to participate in costume.

[@Jonhy132x]

This song sounds amazing as a classical song. It sounds like it could actually be a song from Marie's time.

[@chimerical31]

This clip alone basically captures the feel for the whole movie in it. Love it.

[@Danyhg92]

Loved the idea of Hong Kong Garden with strings, it fits the song and the film perfectly :D

[@bobduvar]

I'm fascinated by the choregraphy. It's so perfect, so chic, so Versailles !!!!

[@katiemayyy710]

I've heard people say they hated the music in the movie because it didn't fit or work, but I agree with you. They did a fabulous job with the music. It works so well, you almost forget it's a *major* anachronism! (Like the sneakers!! hehe)

[@chemicalbrother7613]

It is so brilliant to pick that track and make it sound reverb as if Siouxsie and the Banshees are actually performing somewhere on stage for this crowd. Also, it is one of the best soundtracks of all time in my humble nerdy opinion:)

[@fernando51764]

Opino igual. Como dos épocas diferentes coinciden en sus sonidos.... Esta escena me revolvió el interés en la música ochentera nueva olera ... y es una obra de arte hacer realidad esa fusión. Felicitaciones Sra, Coppola....

[@DiscoverPlatinum]

My favorite scene in one of my favorite movies of all time! I really feel that I had a past life in the time of Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI, if I wasn't her herself! I've always somehow connected to and understood her.

[@8she8]

This movie is so beautiful visually :)

[@bt2212]

best use of music in film within the last decade :)

[@RukiaKuchiki1555]

Where's the part wer that weird guy was talking to Louis??!!! That was my favourite part!! And it was rite there at the masquerade ball!! T.T

[@valentinagorini1996]

AHAHAHAHAHAHA "Did the Dauphin deflower the Dauphine? Because I would like to do the same with you" *goes away* 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Adrian3gotrip]

the song with this scene is so good, just listen to the lyrics!

[@fummigummi]

I hope you get reborn as the Chinese workers who worked in Hong Kong Garden and experience the racism that the song allegedly criticises.

[@HonguitaPink]

hace unas semanas vi esta pelicula y me fascino!! la cancion ya la habia escuchado y esta buenisima!!

[@Vela21]

I loved this part! It was so much fun and full of life! Hong Kong Garden was an excellent choice for this part of the movie!

[@juberra]

i attended parties like that long before the Cure and Banshees entered the scene

[@kalevala29]

It's interesting that Sophia want to use "new wave" music for the soundtrack.

[@jeangeniex3]

I did too! I was like OMG I HAVE TO WATCH IT AGAIN lol.. I love it and I feel the same way. I want to live and breath Marie Antoinette. Beautiful.

[@ricardorojas9026]

Cuando la fui a ver la película al cine...nunca pensé...en new order...the cure y siuxsie estarían como banda de sonido ...Dark wave al maximo....👏👏👏

[@candycanekid99]

i do dancing like that in my dance class (i take ballroom dancing) i absolutely love the music!! ^___^ goes well with the dancing scene

[@paulinaandreanunezdiaz4512]

por dios quiero estar ahiiiiii

[@novocaineboy1979]

Ya somos dos 😊😊

[@roxxibea]

Oh I love this movie, it makes me cry because everything was so beautiful and extravagant. And I hate that I wasn't or couldn't be apart of any of it!

[@jonnaepixieransom]

Love this movie and song classical classic rock

[@NewPaltzIndie]

I raised my hands in happiness when I heard Siouxsie on this! great soundtrack!

[@97sweeney10]

i have this movie it is the best! ive watched it about 8 times already. i just got it. I LOVE IT!

[@enihpesojsrepiuk]

Using new wave in a movie about marie antoinette? GENIUS!

[@PeppeRaskell1]

I've seen this movie at least three times on DVD, and I just love the music (both the classical stuff and the new music.)

[@askl23]

I like the way the song synced with the dancing when the ballroom appears.

[@MissPiratePixie]

@x0ticShwty I love how they used pop music in this film to show how exciting it would have seemed to Marie Antoinette at the time - of course we see it as boring music now but back then it wasn't!

[@Tiababe89]

Incredible movie, superb soundtrack! Hands of for Sophia!

[@pondacres]

This scene works so well with that song! That's usually not the case when period films use modern music, imho.

[@sooofunny37]

I watched this film twice in less than 24 hrs! I have never done that before. This film will be on your mind long after seeing it! I want to live and breath Marie Antoinette. Sadly, i don't believe at this moment in time i can fit into a corset-ahem!

[@samzam865]

Buenisíma esa pelicula, nunca aburre

[@coldfito]

this scene was such an awesome suprise watching for the 1st time

[@ririri88]

I want to join them sooo badly !!

[@DiscoverPlatinum]

Dude! Marie Antoinette is my FAVORITE historical figure! I even have a facebook group called Vote for me for Queen of France!!! So naturally of course I love this movie. And this if my FAVORITE scene!!! and I love France too. Lived there for 2 semesters :-)

[@loloutta]

one of my favourite scenes in the movie, gotta love it!

[@mkmitte]

Yeah. Great the way she used 1979 punk/new wave like the Banshees, and All Cats Are Grey by The Cure, in a 1780s Paris context- and it works.

[@pamjoy907]

That is exactly what I thought when I was watching the movie. And Fools Rush In, by Bow Wow Wow. That's a good one too.

[@PierreLeCanadien]

Yeah, it was a great part of the movie. Who would have thought that Siouxsie and the Banchees Hong Garden would be so cool in that context...

[@konzalik]

I like this one... song & images

[@downtowndickybrown]

Great song........great scene!!!!!!!!!!!

[@hannahemy17]

Love this movie! Love this song!! *-*

[@stevieuk99]

Siouxsie and the Banshees Hong Kong Garden sounds amazing on this - fab!

[@xinyisallypeng4837]

this was when marie antoinette met fersen and was actually happening in the history.

[@Spitshine610]

great movie!

[@DestructZero]

Cool. An 18th Century masquerade ball with new wave music.

[@Paddy3443]

That film is amazing

[@MeLLio9]

really the best song !!

[@djdopesic]

favorite scene in the movie.

[@8she8]

@SallyCinnamonette sooooooooo true! I absolutely LOVED the music of The Virgin Suicides

[@emilykozak7249]

My favorite scene if right after this. Where Louis is watching the party from a balcony. And this weirdo ask Louis “where are you from” and then precedes to creepily say he’d deflower Louis. And Louis walks away.

[@berni9977]

mine too

[@tatilini4794]

You just have to imagine the real smell inside the building to stop thinking about being there. Some of them didn't take a shower for a loooong of time. .__.

[@selinakyle3426]

Julio Tello Saavedra In a documentary I saw about sanitation the palace was way filthier than portrayed in movies people literally peed anywhere in the palace floor. 🤢

[@wazumedasho73]

It's funny to see that music being played in one of those balls xD they match so strangely good :D Sofia did a great job~!

[@rosering02]

These people have no idea the horror that's going to happen.

saw this part and freaked out! favorite siouxsie song!

Fabulous

i loved this part,

[@I4newwave]

this song is beautifuuuuuuuuuuul HONG KONG GARDEN-SIOUXIE AND THE BANSHEES

[@kimmaguder2012]

This scene reminds me of going to clubs at 16 and 17 with a fake IS lol.. seeing how much fun they are having brings back that feeling of freedom you get to have at that age. I miss it!

[@thomasleris5785]

Watching this in lockdown is soo frustrating!! 😂

[@PerkiTheZombie]

Hehehe so this is where punk started ;P Love Siouxsie... Love the movie...

[@ramarover]

using hong kong garden in this film is magic: )

[@AngelofMusic04]

@JD Schleuder But they did have an Adam Ant song: "Kings of the Wild Frontier" when Marie Antoinette has her supposed affair with Count Fersen.

[@seafoamren]

nothing but good memz for this moment in cinema

[@oxlizzieeexo]

Sofia Coppola is such a great writer/director :)

[@elelihu]

This is the best part of the entire movie

[@jdschreuder9176]

Interesting soundtrack. I suppose the original intention was to look up New Romantic music. This song works well and I am glad to see Bow Wow Wow on the soundtrack. I am surprised they could not find an Adam Ant song

[@peterwhisperwind9162]

T'was an interesting mix of modern and Baroque. The beauty of it is how nothing feels out of place.

[@mariahspapaya]

JD Schreuder there's an Adam ant song in the movie "kings of the wild frontier" is in this it's just not listed on the soundtrack

[@jdschreuder9176]

Anonymous Dawg not sure, strange if left off.

[@jdschreuder9176]

It is on the Spotify playlist

[@valentinagorini1996]

Yes there is one of Adam Ant song! It's King Of The Wild Frontier and it os played when Marie Antoinette has an intercourse with Count Fersen!

[@paulinaandreanunezdiaz4282]

yo quero estar ahiiiii

[@clown2clowncomms]

same here!! i love dis part of the movie =]]

[@charmed6057]

People shouldn't say this movie was bad. It shows the biography of a past time and everything! Sofia Coppola did a wonderful job!

[@lorenns]

i love it!!!

[@Laveau]

I really like the movie and I think the music choice was great! It matched the atmosphere perfectly. The movie brings this part of history in another light and focus on different subjects and it is perfectly accurate with what happened during that time. You just don't read much about it in the traditional books you learned at school...duh! It is already a cult movie for me!

[@jeangeniex3]

so jealous. i want to go to france!

[@smarsh_from_mars]

love this scene :D

[@SpeedyTase]

Obviously it's an extended movie version. There's the original of this song on the "related video" side bar----->

[@Catherinenietom]

cabs85 de hecho la información que proporcionas es incorrecta, Marie Antoinette y Luis XVI primero son enviados a las Tullerías en París, (Que es donde termina esta película) una vez allí intentan huir hacia Varennes que era la frontera con Austria, los capturan pero NO los matan, los envían a un Castillo-prisión, semanas después Luis XVI es condenado a la guillotina y muere, seguido de Marie Antoinette que muere en las mismas circunstancias.

[@duttttttt]

usted es un compendio de informacio'n ...........

[@peterwhisperwind9162]

Pero, es que esta pelicula no culmina en eso! Termina en una conversación dentro del coche.

[@otacs2]

yeah marie antoinette! =D

[@ivanofna]

I agree!

[@garzapinups]

Almost reminds me of the masked ball in The Labyrinth

[@ChicanoPhD]

I love you, Sofia Coppola.❤

[@calarch78]

That is the famous Grand Escalier at Garnier's Paris Opera House. It wasn't built until nearly a century after after the Queen was executed. It's a nice scene though.

[@adampecsek]

I dismissed this movie when it came out because it seemed like such a frivolous treatment of a serious subject, but I've since become a real fan of Coppola's visual style and think this movie is a real treat. The treatment of the soundtrack was also really novel. It all works quite well

[@junglejulia4699]

Love this :)

[@addovoltproductions]

@Maiseyyy I agree 100%.

[@tismurdis]

how did you manage do get through that? Antonia just RAMBLES WAYYYY TOO MUCH!!!

[@skatoad]

Couldn't have said it better myself.
