Synopsis
A portrait of Marie Antoinette, a naïve teenager who was entirely unprepared to take her place in the turbulent history of late 18th century France. The Austrian born princess was sent off to Versailles at 14, where she was lost in the rigid etiquette, brutal family infighting and merciless gossip of the French royal court. Forced to live her life in the unforgiving glare of the public spotlight, she found her escape in the sensual pleasures of youth. But her frivolity unwittingly made her the object of scandal and a convenient scapegoat for a society on the verge of revolution. –Cannes Film Festival
