Salon Magazine brings news of the Cannes Film Festival premiere of Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette. The movie was booed! But at least the soundtrack is likely to be a hit, evoking a certain nightclub at 30 West 21st Street.
Says Salon: The soundtrack moves from Gang of Four to Siouxsie and the Banshees, the Cure, New Order and Bow Wow Wow, along with more recent club tracks from the likes of Aphex Twin. Add in the unexplained scenes of Marie and pals snorting fine powder off their wrists and smoking from long, exotic pipes, and the general feeling is very Danceteria 1988.
But forget the film. Let's go directly to the source via definitive French culture blog SubRosa, read her testament (her own words of course), and follow the links to Marie-inspired Galliano gowns.
Too bad Danceteria wasn't open in 1988.
-- Agree the date's off, but technically it's correct. Danceteria was open in Quogue, Long Island in 1988.
