Sofia Coppola ‘Marie Antoinette’ film anniversary

Overview

The 20th anniversary of Sofia Coppola’s film ‘Marie Antoinette’ is being marked by several commemorative events. Initial celebrations include the release of a new documentary, ‘Making Marie Antoinette’, which examines the film’s production and its post-punk and new wave aesthetic. Related activities include a book signing by Coppola in Paris. In September 2026, the documentary ‘Making Marie Antoinette’ premiered at the Telluride Film Festival. Directed by Eleanor Coppola, the film utilizes approximately 80 hours of archival footage captured during the original production. Eleanor and Sofia Coppola began organizing the material during the 2020 lockdown. Following Eleanor Coppola’s death in 2024, Sofia Coppola completed the project as a producer to serve as a tribute to her mother. The documentary features Eleanor’s diary entries, read by Diane Lane, providing insight into the filmmaking process and the mother-daughter relationship. Following its Telluride debut, the documentary also premiered at the New York Film Festival. MUBI is scheduled to release a 4K restoration of the original ‘Marie Antoinette’ film in theaters and on its streaming platform starting October 23, with ‘Making Marie Antoinette’ becoming available globally on the platform on November 6. Additionally, the Château de Versailles has launched an exhibition titled ‘Marie-Antoinette by Sofia Coppola’ at the Petit Trianon, running from September 22, 2026, to January 24, 2027. Developed in collaboration with Coppola and supported by Cartier, the exhibition focuses on the film’s visual influence on fashion and beauty. The showcase includes original costumes designed by Milena Canonero, footwear by Manolo Blahnik, props, storyboards, and production photographs. The launch event at the Versailles Orangerie featured lead actors Kirsten Dunst and Jason Schwartzman, alongside filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola. Despite a controversial debut marked by boos at the Cannes Film Festival and criticism regarding historical accuracy, the biopic has maintained a cult following.
