Sofia Coppola in Conversation photo
Filmmaker Sofia Coppola is known for her intimate portrayals of the young female experience, often exploring themes of ennui, fame and loneliness, told in her inimitable visual style. Her 2006 film, Marie Antoinette, based on Lady Antonia Fraser’s award-winning biography of the ill-fated and perhaps misunderstood French queen, showcases these themes through a pop-culture lens, combining historic inspiration with a contemporary approach. 

Join her in conversation with the curator of the V&A’s new exhibition, Marie Antoinette Style, for a look at her creative process, how she brought the story of the young queen to life on screen, and how this work still resonates today.
