Marie Antoinette at 20: Sofia Coppola’s playfully postmodern period drama is finally getting the praise it deserves

Versailles has given over the Petit Trianon to a 20th-anniversary shrine for Sofia Coppola's once-booed Marie Antoinette, mixing the queen's real Sèvres china with the film's prop cakes and Dunst-alike mannequins. The movie flopped on its $40m budget in 2006; now it gets a 4K restoration and a documentary from Coppola's mother.
