Wonderful Trailer for Eleanor Coppola's 'Making Marie Antoinette' Doc

"I am an observer at heart – the miniature world in my viewfinder is constantly fascinating to me." Mubi has unveiled the trailer for the documentary film Making Marie Antoinette, an enchanting making of doc looking back at the creation and filming of the cult classic film Marie Antoinette from 2006. This is a remarkably intimate & incredible doc because it's made by Sofia Coppola's mother, Eleanor Coppola. She originally watched her daughter filming on set and ended up with over 80 hours of footage from the shoot at Versailles in early 2005. They started working on the putting together the footage & creating this doc during the early pandemic. Eleanor then passed away in 2024, so Sofia decided to finish the film and now it's ready. And it's just lovely - read our full review here. The moments with Jason Schwartzman are some of my faves. Eleanor Coppola turns her camera on her daughter, Sofia, while she films Marie Antoinette at 34. Making Marie Antoinette is an access-all-areas invitation behind the scenes of her often misunderstood masterpiece and the making of an auteur through the eyes of her mother. This doc and a 4K re-release of the original Marie Antoinette film premiere in theaters this month to watch on the big screen. Is it one of your favorites? // Continue Reading ›
