Courtesy of Obscured Pictures On the set of “Marie Antoinette,” Sofia Coppola was a director in her mid-30s with two previous features under her belt — exhilarated and occasionally overwhelmed by the scope of shooting a historical drama at Versailles. And her mother was there documenting it all.
“Making Marie Antoinette,” to be released in theaters Oct. 23 on Mubi, marks the 20th anniversary of the Kirsten Dunst-led biopic. And it is the product of hours upon hours of raw footage Eleanor Coppola shot depicting her daughter at work. The elder Coppola was no stranger to working this way among family: Her most renowned film may be 1991’s “Hearts of Darkness,” about the turbulent filming of her husband Francis Ford Coppola’s “Apocalypse Now.”
