A whole bunch of media has recently become available for the drama, "Marie Antoinette." There are several minute-long scenes, a few TV spots, and a featurette, all worth checking out.

The film revolves around infamous historical figure Marie-Antoinette (Kirsten Dunst) who, at the age of 14, was sent away by her mother to marry the 15-year-old Louis-Auguste (Jason Schwartzman), grandson of Louis XV (Rip Torn) and heir to the French throne. Although she was a despised figure and was eventually beheaded, the film looks empathetically at her private life following the arranged marriage.

The film received its share of "boos" for its historical inaccuracies at the Cannes Film Festival this year, but that was to be expected. Oscar winning writer-director Sofia Coppola is known for making very gentle and highly personal movies, which is not what the French were hoping to see given the fact that the film revolves around their history.
