About the episode

Sean and Amanda return to continue their yearlong project of listing the 25 best movies of the 21st century so far. Today, they discuss Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette, one of the greatest blank checks this century, starring Kirsten Dunst. They explain why this was the official Sofia Coppola selection for the list, especially over Lost in Translation; highlight the specific decision not to include Antoinette’s infamous beheading; and discuss why this is a quintessential Kirsten Dunst performance.

Hosts: Sean Fennessey and Amanda Dobbins
Producer: Jack Sanders

Sofia Coppola’s 2006 film ‘Marie Antoinette’ was thought to be an anachronistic, apolitical look at the life and death of the infamous French queen. In fact, it was the movie’s study of style and privilege that made it a political statement.
