Marie Antoinette

Ostentatious sets, opulent Oscar-caliber costumes, and scrumptious sweets dominate this languid-paced Sofia Coppola film about Austrian princess Marie Antoinette (Kirsten Dunst) and her initially tumultuous marriage to Louis XVI (Jason Schwartzman) at age 15 in 1768 at the stuffy, protocol-happy French court (Judy Davis, Shirley Henderson, Asia Argento, Molly Shannon, et al.) at Versailles and her reign as the French queen after the death of King Louis XV (Rip Torn) until her own beheading in 1793.
