WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY
ACADEMY AWARD ® WINNER SOFIA COPPOLA
DEBUTS ON DVD FEBRUARY 13, 2007
Culver City, CA (12/18/06) – On February 13, 2007 Sony Pictures Home Entertainment releases Marie Antoinette on DVD priced at $28.95 SLP. This modern day retelling of France’s most infamous Queen stars Kirsten Dunst (Spider-Man franchise, Bring It On) and Jason Schwartzman (Rushmore, I Heart Huckabees), written and directed by Academy Award® winner Sofia Coppola (Lost In Translation) and produced by Academy Award® nominee Ross Katz (Lost In Translation, In The Bedroom) and Academy Award® winning director Francis Ford Coppola (The Godfather I & II).
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).
