An exhibition at the Petit Trianon in Versailles is marking the 20th anniversary of Sofia Coppola's film Marie-Antoinette, which first screened in France on May 24, 2006. The exhibition showcases a range of materials from the film's production, including costumes, sets, and archival documents, offering a look at how the film was made and how it differed from conventional historical dramas. Marie-Antoinette was inspired by Antonia Fraser's biography of the queen and was Coppola's third film, following Virgin Suicides and Lost in Translation. The exhibition focuses on Coppola's portrayal of Marie-Antoinette as a young woman sent from Austria to marry the Dauphin of France. The film highlights her struggles in a new and often unwelcoming environment, emphasizing her innocence, melancholy, and personal desires while living in the opulent but isolating palace of Versailles. Coppola aimed to create a more intimate and personal depiction of the queen rather than a sweeping historical account. Moodboards displayed in the exhibition reveal Coppola's vision for the film's tone and style. The soundtrack, which blends modern music with the period setting, is highlighted as a crucial element in shaping the film's atmosphere. The exhibition includes materials from Coppola's personal archives, showing the behind-the-scenes work that took place between Versailles and the château de Millemont. Artisans recreated the sets with great attention to detail, and sketches and preparatory drawings are on display, showing how the visual style of the film was developed. The costumes, designed by Milena Canonero, who won Oscars for Barry Lyndon and Marie-Antoinette, are a major highlight of the exhibition. Based on historical documents, the costumes reflect the emotional journey of the young queen throughout the film. The exhibition also includes an anachronistic element, such as a pair of Converse sneakers that appear in a memorable scene, alongside shoes designed by Manolo Blahnik. Behind-the-scenes photographs by Andrew Durham show how the film blended historical and modern elements, such as actors in period costumes interacting with modern technology. The exhibition is open from September 22, 2026, to January 24, 2027, at the Château de Versailles.
