Marie Antoinette Gets Some Lesbo Action
Last night on PBS I watched “The Queen of the Meat Market,” a documentary about Florent Morellet, whose restaurant helped revive (some would say over-revive) Manhattan’s far West Village. Florent always threw giant Bastille Day celebrations, over which he presided as Marie Antoinette. I wonder how he will feel about the new movie “Farewell My Queen,” set in 1789 on the verge of Bastille Day and featuring a lesbo Marie Antoinette. Indiewire’s Anne Thompson called it “an intimate and sexy period spectacle that takes us backstage at Versailles and into territory Sofia Coppola was not willing to go.”
