Release Date: October 13, 2006 Director: Sofia Coppola Starring: Kirsten Dunst, Jason Schwartzman, Rip Torn, Molly Shannon, Judy Davis, Steve Coogan, Asia Argento, Marianne Faithful, Aurore Clement, Shirley Henderson, Danny Huston, Mary Nighy
Plot Summary: Kirsten Dunst portrays the young Austrian princess, who, as a teenager, becomes Queen of France. Jason Schwartzman portrays her indifferent husband Louis XVI. Other members of the ensemble, portraying various members of the elitist court of Versailles include Rip Torn (in the role of King Louis XV), Judy Davis (as the Comtesse de Noailles), Steve Coogan (as Mercy), Asia Argento (playing the Comtesse du Barry), Marianne Faithful (Maria-Teresa), Aurore Clement (Duchesse de Chartres), Molly Shannon (Aunt Victoire) and Shirley Henderson (Aunt Sophie).
Asia on her character:
"I play Madame du Barry. She is the rival to Marie Antoinette, who isn't sexy and doesn't have a very good relationship with her husband, and I'm like the mistress of the king. It was a fun supporting role, not incredibly hard for me to play, just fun."
Working with Sofia Coppola:
"Sofia is completely the opposite of me as a director, and I really look up to her in the way that she's very calm and very kind to everybody, very relaxed. She's somebody, who maybe after work can go to dinner with her friends. I'm totally obsessed, maybe because I don't have money to make my films. It's a very hard process for me, but I hope one day to find that zen feeling that she exudes."
"Sofia is somebody who’s completely different to me as a director. On set I am pretty crazy, a pretty nervous type, not very kind, not very calm. She’s the opposite. She’s very calm, very kind, very relaxed, keeps it together without going crazy like I do. She’s able to have kind conversations, detached but at the same time brilliant. I look up to that, I wish I was like that."
