Overview
- MUBI released the first trailer Thursday, formally announcing the documentary compiled from Eleanor Coppola’s behind‑the‑scenes footage of Sofia Coppola’s 2005 Versailles shoot.
- The documentary is built from roughly 80 hours of footage Eleanor shot on the Marie Antoinette production, material that focuses on set craft, costume work and on‑set life at the Palace of Versailles.
- Eleanor Coppola, who died in 2024, began reviewing the material with Sofia during the COVID lockdowns and the footage was edited by Aaron Matthews with input from Davia Nelson and Liz Bird.
- MUBI will pair a new 4K restoration of Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette with a coordinated theatrical run beginning October 23, and the documentary will stream on MUBI starting November 6.
- The film joins Eleanor’s earlier archival work that produced Hearts of Darkness and offers audiences a chance to reassess Sofia Coppola’s divisive film by foregrounding craft, access at Versailles, and the mother–daughter relationship captured on set.
