DESCRIPTION:
"Rizzoli's blockbuster Marie Antoinette lavishly chronicles Sofia Coppola's equally blockbuster movie" -- Oct06 PAPERCITY MAGAZINE -- "This coffetable book offers page after page of glossy full-color photographs from the movie." "Fans of the film will relish spending time examining the rich costumes and sets." -- 10/19/06 PITTSBURGH TRIBUNE REVIEW
Shot entirely in France, much on location at the Palace of Versailles, the film is visually stunning, bringing together a cast that includes Kirsten Dunst, Jason Schwartzman, Rip Torn, and Marianne Faithful, and the extraordinary costume designs of Oscar-winner Milena Canonero (Barry Lyndon, A Clockwork Orange). Based on the book Marie-Antoinette: The Journey by Antonia Fraser, Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette is a powerful and sympathetic film of the tragic life of France's iconic and misunderstood eighteenth-century Queen.

In a book that is at once the personal chronicle of a major work and a beautiful tribute to the potential of film, featuring elements of the director's own screenplay as well as captivating stills, the director's personal photos, and original designs for costumes and sets, Marie Antoinette is an essential companion for any lover of modern cinema.

"Not quite what you would expect for the price" according to Sarah. I've wanted this book for a while now, but the negative reviews have kept me from buying it. I finnaly went for it when I saw a used one in like new condition for about ten bucks. That's about what this book is worth. It's just really low quality for the price. The pictures are small and blurry, and most of the book is just exceprts from the script.. Tyler said Great photographs, intense script.. Keeping in line with the previous books pertaining to Sofia Coppola films, I have to say the book for Marie Antoinette is now my favorite. It's perfectly in line with the tone and style of the film, and the pictures are really wonderful. There are probably more that could've gone in to the book (the publicity campaign for this film delivered thousands and thousands), but the knowledge that these photos were the ones expressly chosen by Sofia as
