Late Night Film: Marie Antoinette

Sophia Coppola’s stylized take on the tragic life of Marie Antoinette follows the French Queen from her marriage at age 14 to the fall of Versailles. With a pop music soundtrack and modern dialogue, the film captures the experience of a teenager-turned-monarch—complete with extravagant parties, over-the-top fashion, and a lackluster arranged marriage. The film offers a fascinating peek inside the rigid court life and splendor of Versailles and a humanizing perspective on one of history’s most notorious women. (This film is rated PG-13, 122 min., 2006)
