Not Your Average Historical Drama
(R) USA – 2 hr 3 min
2006 · d. Sofia Coppola
Starring Kirsten Dunst, Jason Schwartzman, Steve Coogan
New 4K restoration! Marrying historicity (location shooting at Versailles) and anachronism (Converse All-Stars, a New Wave soundtrack), Sofia Coppola turns the story of the infamous queen (Kirsten Dunst), her marriage to Louis XVI (Jason Schwartzman), and her doomed fate into a dizzyingly stylish, fractured fairy tale of alienation and excess.
This screening is presented in conjunction with a Cinema Classics Seminar taught by Elizabeth Nathanson, Ph.D. Seating for screening-only attendees will begin at 7:00 pm. Just want to see the film? Purchase your tickets from this page.
