Product Description

Product Description

Farewell, My Queen marks the return of acclaimed director Benoît Jacquot (A Single Girl, Seventh Heaven, Sade, Deep in the Woods) and brilliantly captures the passions, debauchery, occasional glimpses of nobility and ultimately the chaos that engulfed the court of Marie Antoinette in the final days before the full-scale outbreak of the Revolution. Based on the best-selling novel by Chantal Thomas, the film stars Léa Seydoux as one of Marie’s ladies-in-waiting, seemingly innocent but quietly working her way into her mistress’s special favors, until history tosses her fate onto a decidedly different path. With the action moving effortlessly from the gilded drawing rooms of the nobles to the back quarters of those who serve them, this is a period film at once accurate and sumptuous in its visual details and modern in its emotions. Diane Kruger gives her best performance to date as the ill-fated Queen and Virginie Ledoyen is the Queen's special friend Gabrielle de Polignac.

With a tantalizing "what-if?" scenario and a respectable cast of Hollywood veterans, The Final Countdown plays like a grand-scale episode of The Twilight Zone. It's really no more than that, and time-travel movies have grown far more sophisticated since this popular 1980 release, but there's still some life remaining in the movie's basic premise: What if a modern-era Navy aircraft carrier--in this case the real-life nuclear-powered U.S.S. Nimitz--was caught in an anomalous storm and thrust 40 years backwards in time to the eve of Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor? Will the ship's commander (Kirk Douglas) interfere with history? Will the visiting systems analyst (Martin Sheen) convince him not to? Will a rescued senator from 1941 (Charles Durning) play an unexpected role in the future of American politics? Veteran TV director Don Taylor doesn't do much with the ideas posed by this potentially intriguing plot; he seems more interested in satisfying aviation buffs with loving footage of F-14 "Jolly Roger" fighter jets, made possible by the Navy's generous cooperation. That makes The Final Countdown a better Navy film than a full-fledged time-travel fantasy, but there's a nice little twist at the end, and the plot holes are easy to ignore. James Cameron would've done it better, but this popcorn thriller makes an enjoyable double-bill with The Philadelphia Experiment. --Jeff Shannon

Awesome idea, but could have done more with it.  Maybe time for a remake? (Hollywood is re-making everything else!)

Awesome idea, but could have done more with it. Maybe time for a remake? (Hollywood is re-making everything else!)
As an aviation buff, I appreciate the excellent photography of the naval aircraft in carrier deck operations, cat shots, arrests, etc. Some of the best video one can find of F-14s, Corsairs, Vikings, Hawkeyes, etc. Nicely done. That's about all the good stuff. The concept is interesting but I would have liked it if they had come up with a nice Sci-Fi explanation of the "storm." I thought the whole thing with the rescued Japanese pilot was super-lame (but love that actor). The way they got rid of the senator was brilliant if poorly acted and the effects were way off base on the conclusion of that part of the story (could have shown it with a little bit more realism, not instant Ka-boom). Nice how they brought the CAG (Owen) and the girl back at the end. Wish they had developed that a little bit more, too. Like how did he get the name Tidewell, and how did he become the big DoD contractor, etc. What would have been really cool: this was an "experiment" or application of some new time-displacement technology that some military whack-job (CIA, shadow-government type thing) thought would be a great idea to go back and kick the Japs asses, wipe out the Axis Powers and then the Russians. But then, cooler heads prevailed and they re-applied this technology to retrieve the Nimitz just in time.
