What is BBC’s Marie Antoinette all about?
If you fancy yourself as a bit of a history buff, or you’ve seen the iconic, 2006 Oscar-winning film Marie Antoinette by Sofia Coppola, you’ll already be familiar with some of the details of this story.
Married to Louis XVI at 14 years old, Antoinette grew up navigating the politics of the French court, burdened with the expectation to provide a male heir to the throne and besieged by rumours and bed-press.
Although she became a fashion icon for her lavish outfits and outrageous hairstyles, she was also heavily criticised for her spending and gambling habits during a time of economic unrest.
Anotinette was famously quoted as saying "Let them eat cake" in response to the plight of the starving French peasantry (though that has since been debunked). Antoinette was the last Queen of France before the revolution, with her story coming to a grisly end at the guillotine in 1793.
Who stars in Marie Antoinette?
German actress Emilia Schüle plays the titular role, with British actor Louis Cunningham playing the notoriously shy and indecisive French King, Louis XVI.
With a star-studded cast and crew, we’re expecting big things from this take on the star of the 18th century French courts. Call the Midwife star Jack Archer will play in the role of Provence.
Where was Marie Antoinette filmed?
The filming of Marie Antoinette took place across multiple locations across France, including the castles of Versailles , Vaux-le-Vicomte, Lésigny, Champs and Voisins, as well as the studios in Bry-sur-Marne.
Expect plenty of stunning scenery, along with some epic costumes and unprecedented extravagance in this BBC Two programme.
