Marie Antoinette on DVD February 13

Posted by: Michael

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.

Marie Antoinette features a colorful cast including Kirsten Dunst (Spider-Man franchise, Bring It On), Jason Schwartzman (Rushmore, I Heart Huckabees), Judy Davis (The Break Up, Deconstructing Harry), Rip Torn (Men In Black, Dodgeball), Asia Argento (Last Days, Land of the Dead), Danny Huston (The Constant Gardner, The Aviator), Rose Byrne (Casanova, Wicker Park), Molly Shannon ("Saturday Night Live,” Talladega Nights), Shirley Henderson (Trainspotting, Bridget Jones Diary), Marianne Faithful ("Absolutely Fabulous”) and Steve Coogan (24 Hour Party People, Around the World in 80 Days).

DVD SPECIAL FEATURES INCLUDE:

• Deleted Scenes
• Making-of Featurette
• "Cribs Featurette" – Jason Schwartzman gives the viewer a tour of Versailles in the vein of the MTV show
