“When I was reading the [Antonia Fraser] book I thought it would be interesting. There hadn’t been a film about Marie Antoinette since the late 30s and it’s such a visually interesting world I think to create in a film. I like to see a movie where you get lost in another world and 18th century France with the wigs and the costumes is so different than our daily life, I thought it would be interesting to show that. So just when I was reading the book, I thought about it as a film. And also for me it was a challenge personally. How do I make a period film that isn’t in the genre of period films but in my own style? That was a challenge for me.”
-Sofia Coppola
