Touted as a post-punk song icon, ‘Hong Kong Garden’ is included in a scene featuring a glamorous masked party. The 1978 tune by Siouxsie and the Banshees was their first single release and was well-received by critics. It was popular on the UK charts, and publications like Q Magazine have even voted it one of the best guitar tracks of all time. Rel...
American rapper Bow Wow Wow has several song placements featured in the film, which follows the queen’s rise and fall during the French Revolution. ‘Aphrodisiac’ plays during the first meeting between Marie Antoinette and Count Axel von Fersen. Though never formally confirmed, history has long suggested the two socialites had a messy love affair.
The Strokes’ ‘What Ever Happened’ appears in a scene when she seeks the privacy of her own room after her first meeting with Count Fersen, which leaves her giddy with young love. Marie Antoinette was only 14 when she was promoted to the queen after the death of Louis the XV. The Strokes’ 2003 single is a message about freeing oneself from what is h...
“Forgot about the war. We barely touched. As if being watched.” The Radio Dept.’s ‘Pulling Our Weight’ gained a whole new set of fans after being featured in the film. Fans of the movie also became fans of the song due to its poetic lyrics and soulful message. Multiple interpretations include the strife couples go through who are distanced by war a...
Initially written by English rock band Joy Division in 1976, they regrouped after band member Ian Curtis passed away and formed New Order. In 1981, they re-released ‘Ceremony’ as their debut single. The “mid-tempo rock song” can be heard in the film during a mashup of scenes featuring the queen’s lavish birthday celebrations.
The film features several notable bands from England’s post-punk wave of the ’70s. Gang of Four is on that list, and their song ‘Natural’s Not in It’ is heard during a scene involving newly appointed queen Marie Antoinette adjusting to a life of royalty at the tender age of 14. The song’s lyrics feature an “anti-love” message at heart and are criti...
Though the film is set in 18th-century France, director Sophia Coppola chose modern, sometimes over-the-top musical choices to support the extravagance of high society at the time. Rapper Bow Wow Wow has a few tunes featured in the film, one of them being his wildly popular ‘I Want Candy’ cover. The song plays during a series of scenes highlighting...
Adam and the Ants’ release of ‘Kings of the Wild Frontier’ introduced a whole new type of music in the early ’80s geared towards young people who felt out of place in society. It featured African-inspired percussion and frontman Adam Ant’s warrior-like painted face to support the message. The song is featured in a scene as she gets to know her love...
Often referred to as “Concerto Alla Rustica,” Vivaldi’s ‘Concerto in G’ makes an appearance in the film as a string of scenes highlights the queen’s intricate daily dressing process, which she finds highly ridiculous. Roger Neill served as a historical music consultant for the film, and his recording of ‘Concerto in G’ is the one used in the film.
“I am the melody of the fallen tree. What comes between you and me.” Used as an early transition between scenes, the indie tune talks of a broken, strained relationship. The message of the lyrics pairs well with the French queen’s struggles portrayed throughout the movie, from becoming one of the youngest queens in history to falling for a man she ...
