How Sophia managed to get the actual buildings of Versailles to shoot her picture in was a miracle in itself. Her inventive use of punk and alternative music was the most interesting innovation, and when you think of it was the kind of music that young people of Antoinette's age would have actually listened to at the time had it been the 20th century. I think this film was largely underrated.
I read the book by Antonia Fraser as well as six other books on MA. Sofia did portray actual events without boring the viewer or making them feel like the film was a lesson on French history or a biopic by on MA. She did an incredible job. I think Sofia also understood that the film should be visually beautiful- and it was.
I have read many books on Marie Antoinette. Excited when this was coming out but then disappointed at its use of a modern vehicle. THEN I saw it and I understood! How perfect that Sophia told this story from the psyche of the consummate TEENAGER. Exactly what she was which puts her errs in perspective. I grew up in the '80s and to me the '80s was the decade of the teenager. Quie surprisingly perfect.
I am a Gen x two and from what little I have learned she wasn't as bad as history has said. From what I heard she actually adopted missed fortunate children and they at least tried to help people I think half of it was the politicians and elites witch were probably the same thing. I need to see this movie at some point it looks like it will be cool.
Sophia is an absolute mastermind. And this movie really helped me Marie's story on such a deep, heartfelt level. I wish the Royal Family didn't experience the downfall they did. It was awful.
The scenes were meticulously created and plus; with the dresses and art direction to make it fit with those larger-than-life personality of the actor and actresses...wow another level of achievement as well
She sprayed a ton then added powder for the look of the time, she then “sets” it with more hairspray. You’d be surprised how much is used just for a look
I remember watching this as an extra on the DVD when it came out. I used to be the assistant manager of a video store back then, when I was a teenager. I watched the movie once, and then rewatched it again straight away. Of course, we didn’t have TH-cam or streaming on demand back then, like people do today! The only other movie I’ve done that with is The Witch, which I can confidently say is my favourite horror movie - I haven’t seen anything to surpass it since - and by then streaming was a thing. I didn’t know anything about either film going in, which I think made both a pleasant surprise.
SOFIA COPPOLA DID AMAZING BEAUTIFUL JOB OF THIS MOVIE. I DIDN'T KNOW IF SHE DIRECTED IT AND KRISTEN DUNST DID A BEAUTIFUL JOB, I LOVE THE COSTUMES AND THE STAGE SET IS INCREDIBLE.
It’s cool how they played the song that was played at the masquerade in the film, during the actual filming of that scene. Do all movies usually do that when filming? I thought music is usually added after.
Yea. Sometimes they’ll play a completely different song to get a certain vibe from the crowd for specific shots, then add in another song they want to go over everything. More often than not, though, when you watch behind the scenes footage where a crowd is dancing, they’re playing the song they want (or a version of it). It just makes everything seem much more real and natural as opposed to weirdly choreographed dances to silence. Especially when there are conversations being held between others as a song plays in the background. Of course, they’ll isolate the audio when there is talking and tweak it a bit so everything sounds clean, then add in a more high quality sounding version of the song to go over everything/use in the background…
All time fave. An incredible vision of a woman who never truly came into her own. If I could say anything to Sophia, I would offer her a challenge. Make a movie about Erzabet Bathory as a bookend to Marie Antoine! The dark to counter the light! 😍
Lol i remember seeing this in theaters when it came out and i was waiting for it to pick up. I thought that when the riots were outside of versailles surely something would happen. Then she did that weird bow, and the scene cut. That was a let down. I wish this movie had a stonger plot.
I wish the movie had more drama. It was more of a mix of teen and moody film. Great for anyone who likes that but got kinda boring. The set ups were GREAT tho!
No she doesn't say that, she says Kirsten Dunst, the actress, is German (she has a German background) ...so she looks the part of Antoinette.. listen properly.
Im sophia coppolla and or a boy and finds Versailles another chapel of life to guide her new life to success. THe Irish are all against me and the French laugh at me!

its cheap ad for the castle.
This was such a visually opulent movie. I LOVED IT SO MUCH. I remember this was in the September issue of VOGUE.
Could you imagine filming in the very same place that it actually happened?
it is dreadfully a rare thing for me. this movie is like one in a billion i think. iconic and making me in awe.

I miss this DVD so much. I used to watch this at least once a day after school for a couple months straight lol 😂
XD😂
Me too!
You mean the movie with Kirsten Dunst? It’s free on TH-cam!
Me too, my father give it to me as a bday gift ❤
I bought the DVD recently
16:39 so lovely to see the caretaker enthuse about them filming!
this film is a cultural reset. absolute masterpiece
Loved the movie. Marie was so misunderstood and such a tragedy to the whole family. They were children. Wonderful video!
I loved the costumes….the shoes, the hair….the style.
I never fully watched this movie. What an amazing cast. I think i will watch it now
thanks for watching !

the best movie ever amen

I love Judy Davis ❤
Omg the amount of hairspray used just for her to be laying in place in a bathtub 😂 I think that lady was just trying to look busy at work 💀
She sprayed a ton then added powder for the look of the time, she then “sets” it with more hairspray. You’d be surprised how much is used just for a look
The powder part was historically accurate, the hair was very powdered in the time this movie is set
I recognized a particular dry shampoo they were using a lot in the bathtub scene….I remember buying a ton of it in Paris because it was so fabulous!

I didn’t know anything about either film going in, which I think made both a pleasant surprise.
She apparently was a very loving and affectionate mom with her kids, which was unusual for Kings at the time.
And that was one of the faules charges against her that she abused her eldest son.
What an interesting background to this remarkably beautiful film. Well done to all these talented, creative people.
This movie truly surprised me. Kudos to Sophia Coppola, a modern masterpiece.
SOFIA COPPOLA DID AMAZING BEAUTIFUL JOB OF THIS MOVIE. I DIDN'T KNOW IF SHE DIRECTED IT AND KRISTEN DUNST DID A BEAUTIFUL JOB, I LOVE THE COSTUMES AND THE STAGE SET IS INCREDIBLE.
The movie is very well done! Excellent! One of my favorite movies! A very good time to produce this movie!
It’s cool how they played the song that was played at the masquerade in the film, during the actual filming of that scene. Do all movies usually do that when filming? I thought music is usually added after.
Yes, movies productions (even like music videos) do that in scenes to get the actors and extras in the right mood, dance choreography for the scene.
Yea. Sometimes they’ll play a completely different song to get a certain vibe from the crowd for specific shots, then add in another song they want to go over everything.
More often than not, though, when you watch behind the scenes footage where a crowd is dancing, they’re playing the song they want (or a version of it).

@@TwoBs very interesting to learn this! thank you
@@filmmaker610 I was aware for music video of course, but neat to learn it's for movie scenes too. Thanks!
I always loved the Countess of Noailles' dresses.❤❤❤❤❤
Something about a Cappola film set. Its just cool. Where the cool kids hang.
She actually looks like an European queen, extraordinary movie and amazing actress.Soffia Coppola is a great director too
Love the behind the scenes.! still love this movie.... I recently found out you can rent a room and stay at Versailles That is so cool....
I love this movieee ❤️
THIS is my Roman Empire
I love the dinner scene 08:00 its so asmr!!
Loool I love seeing Marie and Du Barry having fun behind the scenes 😂🥰
Fabulous movie. I love Sofia Coppola movies.
All time fave. An incredible vision of a woman who never truly came into her own.
If I could say anything to Sophia, I would offer her a challenge. Make a movie about Erzabet Bathory as a bookend to Marie Antoine! The dark to counter the light! 😍
*She never said, "let them eat cake"....but considering her life style it certainly seems probable.*
The colors and hoew they made the foof look

I didn’t realise until now that Madame duBarry was played by the woman who the late Anthony Bourdaine dated and seemingly, killed himself over! 😮😮
You’re right. Her name is Asia Argento.
Anthony Bourdaine obviously had issues.
The make up of her wedding gown, based upon the formal court gown must have been very difficult to wear as the panniers were sooo wide !
Great Francis Ford Coppola
Bows need to come back!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank u for ❤
Sophia Coppola doesn’t know a macaron vs a macaroon…🤦🏽♀️
🤣
, hermosa ,💜🙏🤎💛🖤💖
11:18 so me
I wish the movie had more drama. It was more of a mix of teen and moody film. Great for anyone who likes that but got kinda boring. The set ups were GREAT tho!
so funny and awkward sofia calls Marie Antoinette german... if only austrian would hear that
No she doesn't say that, she says Kirsten Dunst, the actress, is German (she has a German background) ...so she looks the part of Antoinette.. listen properly.
the movie I was made brilliantly she was beautiful but she didn’t understand politics it’s just a movie 🎥 it was one of the best movies 🍿 made
i always thought her name was pronounced mary not marieee
Its in french
Im sophia coppolla and or a boy and finds Versailles another chapel of life to guide her new life to success. THe Irish are all against me and the French laugh at me!
София тут такая молодая :((
Let them eat cake
How that director manage to pull such a vibrant movie together is beyond me. She's got the personality of a dead fish.
Certainly not my favourit film. Small details that were overlooked, but if know them well you see them .
