ORNEMENT/ORNEMENTAL
Au xvillesiécle, la critique bien-pensante du luxe sous sa forme d’ornement ne dé-
coula pas tant de la défense par les élites de leurs prérogatives que dune dénonciation
bourgeoise, au nom de la propriété et de la raison, de cette dépense si scandaleuse et
improductive. Une morale de la parure se substitua alors & une idéologie de l'ornement
et, immanquablement, ce dernier devint un crime”
Dans son film Marie-Antoinette (2006), Sofia Coppola a ressuscité Vextravagance im-
pertinente, périlleuse et autodestructrice de la cour, sans oublier le mépris apparent
pour les dépenses matérielles ainsi que le réle éminemment symbolique de ce per
sonnage historique. Uhostilité de la critique cinématographique suffit 2 signifier sa
réussite, Ce film ne se veut pas une lecon d'histoire, mais plutat, selon sa réalisatrice,
un acte d'empathie. Ce repli vers le sentiment dépasse toutefois une simple nostal-
gie d’ordre personnel. D’aprés Jean-Joseph Goux, le modéle de dépense « primitive »
