Marie Antoinette

“Rumor. Scandal. Sex. Fame. Revolution.”

A fourteen-year-old girl arrives at Versailles to marry the dauphin Louis XVI (Jason Schwartzman), sealed into a role she does not understand. Marie Antoinette (Kirsten Dunst) moves through gilded rooms where every gesture is watched, coached by the rigid Comtesse de Noailles (Judy Davis) on how to be a queen. Coppola watches her search for pleasure in silk and jewels and late-night gambling, each indulgence a door closing.
