Walsh, Linda (2011). Deconstructing and Reconstructing the Self: Sofia Coppola's 'Marie Antoinette' and Three Portraits. Invited paper.
Abstract
This paper analyses Coppola's film in relation to modern theories of myth and identity. The film itself includes a sequence based on three eighteenth-century portraits of the French Queen, which are discussed as examples of her attempts to reclaim control of public perceptions of her.
