Based on the biography of Marie Antoinette by Antonia Fraser, Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette takes a luscious look at the misunderstood Queen of France.
In this electrifying yet intimate re-telling of the turbulent life of history's favourite villainess, Kirsten Dunst portrays the ill-fated child princess who married France's young and indifferent King Louis XVI (Jason Schwartzman). Feeling isolated in a royal court rife with scandal and intrigue, Marie Antoinette defied both royalty and commoner by living like a rock star, which served only to seal her fate.
By incorporating modern elements with the soundtrack and other periodic anachronistic objects, Coppola adds to her catalog of films that explore life defining experiences of young women by making the 18th century accessible.
