Description
Sofia Coppola's visually ravishing, anachronistic reimagining of the young Austrian archduchess (Kirsten Dunst) who became Queen of France at the age of nineteen. Transplanted from Vienna to the gilded cage of Versailles, Maria Antonia navigates court intrigue, a difficult marriage, and a life of suffocating protocol with the only tools she has: fashion, pleasure, and an increasingly defiant spirit. Coppola's bold, punk-inflected approach — scored to post-punk and new wave — creates a portrait of youth, alienation, and the seductive emptiness of privilege that feels utterly contemporary.
