The drama follows the life of Marie Antoinette (Kirsten Dunst), an Archduchess of Austria who drank the bitterest cup of humiliation in her life. She had complicated, poignant relationships with her strict and domineering mother and a disastrous marriage to the shy and socially awkward Dauphin of France who didn’t consent to have sexual intercourse with his wife for seven long years. Feeling isolated and distressed, Marie Antoinette tried to find consolation in the decadence of the French aristocracy and in a secret liaison with Swedish Count Fersen (Jamie Dornan). Her short-run popularity as a spouse of King Louis XVI gave place to a public censure for her frivolous and eccentric behaviour during the celebrations which she held at the palace of Versailles. Marie Antoinette braved the French Revolution and bore herself with dignity. Her close connections with Austria and support for a foreign intervention were so apparent that she was stripped of her riches, imprisoned and sentenced to death. Various attempts to get her out failed. On October 16, 1793, Marie Antoinette was charged with treason and espionage for other countries, and was executed by guillotine. |
