Most likely the film is a beautiful...dud.
No "The Chauffeur" on the soundtrack kind of sucks.
It was booed at Cannes, but of course, that may have been just the French critical reaction to an American-made movie about their history, sorta like if a film was made with all French actors about, say, George Washington. (repeating someone else's observation)
I've heard that there is little dialogue really (which is becoming a S. Coppola trademark in a sense) and that there are ridiculously long shots on extravagant meals and desserts.
There was a pretty neat article on it in Entertainment Weekly and Sofia mentioned a "punk" influence a bunch of times.
