The retelling of France's iconic but ill-fated queen, Marie Antoinette. From her betrothal and marriage to Louis XVI at 15 to her reign as queen at 19 and to the end of her reign as queen, and ultimately the fall of Versailles.
Hollywood actor Johnny Marco, nested in his luxury hotel of choice, is a stimulated man. Drinking, parties and women keep a creeping boredom under wraps in between jobs.

Quotes
Johnny Marco:
Whoa! What the fuck, dude?
Ron the Masseur:
Oh. Did they not tell you how I work?
Johnny Marco:
No.
Ron the Masseur:
I have a website that explains my technique. I feel that if my client's naked, it's just more comfortable if I meet them at the same level.
Johnny Marco:
Yeah, it's - it's not for me. Thanks, though. Why don't you just pack it up.
Ron the Masseur:
Alright.
Ron the Masseur:
[after putting his clothes back on]
S'sorry about that.
Johnny Marco:
Nah, it's cool.

This is a very odd movie: we as the audience have to do all the work!
Is there a plot? No. You have to imagine it. Is there a script? No: you have to imagine that, too.
I spent the entire movie waiting for something to happen. Nothing ever did!
OK, it was a very pleasant wait: the scenery is very attractive, and most of it is scantily-clad. So if you like looking at women in a state of undress (I do!) then you will at least have something to do while you imagine a story to go with the visuals.
There is one stand-out: the sound. Many of the scenes are shot with ambient sound, and it is beautifully captured. As a former sound man myself, I know how hard this would have been to do.
Everything else: that's up to your imagination!
