Sofia Coppola
Marie Antoinette - As You Wish
A stylish and intimate portrait of a queen caught between duty and desire.
Young Marie Antoinette enters the French court and becomes enveloped in excess, scrutiny, and isolation. Seeking escape, she indulges in lavish parties and personal desires. The widening gap between royalty and the people looms ever larger. Coppola reimagines the queen with a modern, intimate sensibility. The result is a portrait of rebellion, privilege, and entrapment.
On December 30th, the film will be include a short introduction by Head of Programming Sophie Jansen.
De jonge Marie Antoinette arriveert aan het Franse hof en wordt meegesleurd in luxe, isolatie en politieke verwachtingen. Terwijl ze worstelt met haar rol als koningin, zoekt ze troost in feesten en overvloed. De kloof tussen haar wereld en het volk groeit. Coppola kiest voor een moderne, intieme blik op historische mythevorming. De film toont de spanning tussen jeugdige rebellie en koninklijke plicht.
Op 30 december wordt de film ingeleid door Hoofd Programmering Sophie Jansen.
