Marie Antoinette – directed by Sofia Coppola
Marie Antoinette is one of my favorite movies of all time, and it has such a distinct visual style, which is why I chose it for my final Illustration project. PLOT SUMMARY – Marie Antoinette is a historical biopic about the life of the onetime queen of France, and it is a rock and roll retelling of her life’s story. The visuals are classic 18th century France, while the music and cinematography are pure rock n roll glamour. It caused quite a stir when it was initially released in the late 00’s, as the artful punk rock elements were not what many people had in mind when they thought of the time period of her life, the 18th century. The movie is all about her life, which was fascinating. She became the queen of France as a teenager, and was eventually beheaded, which ended her life while she was still relatively young. She was notorious for spending loads of the French government’s money on dresses and jewelry, and she seemed to care more about lavish parties than the people of France. The movie shows many of these elements, and is therefore visually sumptuous. C’est magnifique! TARGET AUDIENCE – People interested in independent, arthouse cinema, and fans of Sofia Coppola.
