I just went and saw Marie Antoinette at the World Exchange Plaza in Ottawa Ontario Canada and was met with an amazing film with some rather troubling circumstances.
To start things off the projection booth had the film displaying improperly with a 5th of the movie appearing at the top of the screen. This was corrected shortly after (with 2 minutes of themovie starting).
The largest concern was the nearly 15+ shots in the movie where the Boom Mic rophone was more than clearly visible in the shots. The first most noticeable being in the scene with the Elephant and Marie's brother. The microphone drifted down nearly a 5th of the screen height into the shot. All throughout the rest of the film were scenes where the microphones drifted in and out of the frame very very noticeably, horribly detracting from what was happening.
My hopes are that this was a rare occurence and that Sophia Coppola did not intend for something this bizzare to be intentional.
Im hoping to see it again at another location to ease my mind and eyes after seeing this happen.
I hope few or no one else ran into this situation in viewing a new and wonderful film by the talented Sophia Coppola.
