Making Marie Antoinette

In 2005, Sofia Coppola made her third feature film, Marie Antoinette—the first production ever to be granted permission to film at the Palace of Versailles. Accompanying her on set was her mother, documentarian Eleanor Coppola, who shot 80 hours of footage, focusing on her daughter’s journey making the film. 20 years later, Sofia reviewed the unseen footage at her mother’s request. The result is not only a fascinating look at the craftsmanship behind Marie Antoinette, but an unexpected portrait of mother and daughter.
