On February 13th, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment releases Marie Antoinette on DVD with the suggested retail price of $28.95.
Based on Antonia Fraser's book about the ill-fated Archduchess of Austria and later Queen of France, 'Marie Antoinette' tells the story of the most misunderstood and abused woman in history, from her birth in Imperial Austria to her later life in France.
This modern day retelling of France’s most infamous Queen stars Kirsten Dunst (Spider-Man franchise, Bring It On) and Jason Schwartzman (Rushmore, I Heart Huckabees), written and directed by Academy Award winner Sofia Coppola (Lost In Translation) and produced by Academy Award nominee Ross Katz (Lost In Translation, In The Bedroom) and Academy Award winning director Francis Ford Coppola (The Godfather I & II).
Sofia Coppola, one of today’s most visionary directors, brings to life onscreen the iconic French Queen. Beginning with Marie Antoinette’s betrothal at the tender age of 14 to an equally young Louis XVI, Coppola tells the tale of a sheltered and lonely girl ill-prepared to handle the rigid yet decadent life at the opulent Versailles, let alone affairs of state.
Coppola captures the spirit of the Baroque in its entire splendor, mirrored in the story of a young woman with all the luxuries her heart desires. The pomp and pageantry of life inside the palace walls insulates Marie Antoinette from the world outside until a Revolution erupts, bringing with it a new reality.
