Kirsten Dunst stars as the last queen of France in Sofia Coppola's opulent and audacious third feature (following THE VIRGIN SUICIDES and LOST IN TRANSLATION), a film that was notoriously misunderstood by early audiences for departing from traditional biopic clichés and avoiding well-worn assumptions about its subject. Yet viewed with an unbiased eye, one discovers Coppola has created a "buoyant, passionately sympathetic dream-bio" (Salon), rich in subtle comedy, poignant detail and dazzling pageantry. Oscar® winner for Best Costume Design.

French filmmaker Catherine Breillat (ROMANCE; FAT GIRL) is famous for her uncompromising features examining varied forms of human sexuality and eroticism. In her most accessible film, Breillat parts 19th century bedchamber doors to tell a story about a sexually insatiable courtesan (Asia Argento) and her longtime lover, a penniless young rake (Fu'ad Ait Aattou) who tries to end their affair when he marries a young, wealthy aristocrat. A sumptuous and passionate period piece examining the anarchy of desire. "Like an erotic dream" -- Salon.
