Marie Antoinette
Weddings

2h 2m
Directed by Sofia Coppola • 2006 • France, United States, Japan
Starring Kirsten Dunst, Jason Schwartzman, Judy Davis
Sofia Coppola brings Converse sneakers and a dreamy synth-pop soundtrack to eighteenth-century Versailles for this exuberantly subversive, extravagantly stylized anti-biopic of one of history’s most infamous (and perhaps misunderstood) figures. Kirsten Dunst portrays the ill-fated teenage princess Marie Antoinette, who marries the young and indifferent Dauphin of France (Jason Schwartzman), soon to be crowned King Louis XVI. Feeling isolated in a royal court rife with scandal and intrigue, Marie Antoinette defies both royalty and commoner by living like a rock star . . . which serves only to seal her fate.
