I've had time to chill, and I still hate the poster. Let's compare it to Marie Antoinette's poster. Both women led fun, extravagant lives, had lame husbands, affairs and hardships, and were fashion icons. Which poster best expresses this?
I know, I'm really concerned that they are making it too dark and serious, and I really feel like Foreman's biography didn't convey that. There were moments like that of course, but Miss G was quite the party girl!
Oh God, this is going to be like the Kiera Knightly P&P, isn't it? All the brilliance and sparkle and fun of hte Georgian era sacrificed for sweeping and somewhat ill-placed romanticism. Grr. I'll bet there's a scene when the Duchess of D stands on a cliff somewhere and weeps for Charles Grey... who still looks underaged and ugly.

It really is a pity poor Lady G's film couldn't benefit from the brilliant aesthetic of Sofia Coppola + Milena Canonero. Such an opportunity lost...
ReplyDeletethat is exactly what it is! opportunity lost! it could have gone so many ways and they took the 'safe' route as far as design here. le sigh.

ReplyDeleteOops, that was me; I was using a computer in the library and someone forgot to log out of their blog....
ReplyDeleteHaha! Well now it looks like Kyle feels the same way as you. I was reading it and thinking, 'this sounds like Elyse...'
