Marie Antoinette (2006) – The Real Queen Behind Sofia Coppola’s Stylish Film

Ep. 003 Marie Antoinette (2006)

Let them eat cake, let them wear blue converse sneakers? We discuss Sofia Coppola's movie, based on the biography 'Marie Antoinette: The Journey' by Antonia Fraser and the life and times of the real Marie Antoinette, the last queen of France.

Is this lavish, over the top, some times anachronistic movie actually the most honest and accurate depiction of Marie Antoinette that we've yet had?
