Marie Antoinette (2006 film)

Marie Antoinette is an Academy Award-winning 2006 film written and directed by Sofia Coppola about the life of Marie Antoinette, Queen of France. It was Coppola's first film since winning an Academy Award for the screenplay of 2003's Lost in Translation.

The film is loosely based on the historical biography Marie Antoinette: The Journey by Antonia Fraser, and ends with the fall of Versailles. It is the first full-length biopic of Marie Antoinette to be made in the English language since the 1938 Oscar-nominated film, Marie Antoinette starring Norma Shearer and Tyrone Power.
