MUMBAI: Academy Award-winning screenwriter and Oscar nominated director Sofia Coppola, brings forth a youthful and contemporary 21 st century movie about an 18th Century legend ? Marie Antoinette. The film stars Kirsten Dunst, Jason Schwartzman, Judy Davis, Rip Torn, Rose Byrne, Asia Argento, Molly Shannon, Shirley Henderson, Danny Huston and Steve Coogan and is based on the book Marie Antoinette: The Journey by Antonia Fraser. Sofia Coppola‘s Masterpiece is all set to release in Mumbai on 22 June .

Often maligned, passionately debated and ultimately a misunderstood young woman, Marie Antoinette (Kirsten Dunst), through Coppola‘s vision, emerges neither as staid historical villain nor divine idol ? but as a confused and lonely teenage outsider thrust against her will into a decadent and scandal-plagued world on the eve of disaster.

"My main objective was to not make a big, historical epic," says Sofia Coppola of her original approach to Marie Antoinette. "Her life is a huge historical chronicle, and while I was respectful of that, I wanted to tell a much more impressionistic story from Marie Antoinette‘s point of view as we watch her grow and mature. Most of the stories we know about her come from other people‘s perceptions of her. I was much less interested in the political and historical views of her and more in her personal experience. Rather than a stuffy, formal portrait, I wanted to reveal the way people must have behaved when they were behind closed doors." she adds.
