MARIE ANTOINETTE

THE BACK OF THE BOX
WHAT THE STUDIO WANTS YOU TO KNOW

    Academy Award winner Sofia Coppola (2003, Best Writing, Lost In Translation) directs an electrifying yet intimate re-telling of the turbulent life of history's favorite villainess, Marie Antoinette. Kirsten Dunst portrays the ill-fated child princess who married France's young and indifferent King Louis XVI (Jason Schwartzman).

THE GEEK BOX
TRIVIA TO IMPRESS YOUR EASILY IMPRESSED FRIENDS

• This film is loosely based on a biography of Marie Antoinette by Antonia Fraser.
• Writer/director Sofia Coppola said that she started working on this film years ago and got stuck in the middle of it and began writing another story on the side to help her frustration. That story ended up becoming Lost In Translation and after the film's success she dove back into the script and was able to complete it.
• There are numerous historical errors in this movie that caused some groups in France to boycott the movie. However director/writer Sofia Coppola said this movie was meant to be an artistic take on her life and not a biographical film.
• The production was allowed special permission to film in Palace of Versailles. They were even allowed to film in The Hall Of Mirrors which was closed for restoration at the time of filming.
• During a scene where Marie Antoinette is getting ready, a pair of blue converse tennis shoes can clearly be seen. Sofia Coppola has said that the shoes are intentionally in the frame in order to make the character seem more identifiable as a typical teenager.
