	Marie Caroline of Austria - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		Archduchess Maria Carolina of Austria (13 August, 1752 – 8 September, 1814) as Queen Marie Caroline was queen consort and de facto ruler of Naples from 1768 to 1799 and from 1799 to 1806, and of Sicily from 1768 until her death in 1814, though she had lost the de facto power in 1812.
		Her Majesty Queen Marie Caroline Luise Josephe Johanna Antonie of Naples and Sicily, Princess Imperial and Archduchess of Austria, Princess Royal of Hungary and Bohemia, Princess of Tuscany was born in 1752, the daughter of Maria Theresa of Austria and Francis I, Holy Roman Emperor.
		However, Marie Caroline retained her status and power in Sicily until 1812, when her husband essentially (but not officially) abdicated, appointing his son Francis regent, which deprived the queen of her influence, and Marie Caroline was exiled to her homeland Austria, where she died in 1814.

	Marie Antoinette
		Ambassador Mercy and Abbé de Vermond, the former tutor of the archduchess in Austria and now her reader in France, endeavoured to make her follow the prudent counsels as to her conduct sent by her mother, Maria Theresa, and to enable her thus to overcome all the intrigues of the Court.
		Marie Antoinette's disdain of Madame du Barry, the mistress of Louis XV, was perhaps, from a political standpoint, a mistake, but it is an honourable evidence of the high character and self-respect of the Dauphiness.
		In her private life, Marie Antoinette may justly be blamed for her prodigality, for having, between 1774 and 1777 -- by certain notorious escapades (sleigh racing, opera balls, hunting in the Bois de Boulogne, gambling) and by her amusements at the Trianon (see VERSAILLES) -- given occasion for calumnious reports.

	PIXELSURGEON \| Reviews \| Movies \| Marie Antoinette
		Marie Antoinette was actually started before Lost in Translation, but the success of the latter reinvigorated the project, which was inspired by the autobiography of the Austrian archduchess by Antonia Fraser.
		Fraser created a very human portrait of Marie Antoinette, who was a teenager when she married Louis XVI of France, and confounded the usual portrayal of the woman who allegedly exclaimed that the starving population of France should eat cake when told that they had no bread.
		Marie Antoinette, with its bubblegum pink and pistachio green palette, is a brave, flawed film, but one that demonstrates that the period drama can be revamped for a modern audience, even if the total is sadly not greater than the sum of its parts.

		Thirteen-year-old Maria Antonia, Archduchess of Austria, is just coming into her own, finally being forced to bridge the gap between childhood and teenage-dom, but she cannot for the life of her leave behind her love of all things childish.
		I have heard many things regarding Marie Antoinette over the years, mainly from history books, therefore I was prepared to read the story of an ungrateful young girl, who was vicious and nasty, and carried for nothing but herself.
		Lasky has woven a gilt-encrusted tale that gives readers the chance to see the young Marie Antoinette, before she fell into a position that she was unprepared for; one that will leave you with a different impression of the well-known royal.

	'Marie Antoinette' - MOVIE REVIEW - Los Angeles Times - calendarlive.com
		Sofia Coppola's "Marie Antoinette" opens with a shot of the last queen of France reclining on a chaise while a maid tends to her feet, surrounded by a parapet of pastries.
		"Marie Antoinette" gives a wide berth to the conventions of period dramas, especially their time-capsule remove, and instead tries to mainline the singular personal experience of the arch-villainess of French history (and freedom history, for that matter).
		The movie is at its strongest when it focuses on Marie Antoinette's private, sensual world, which — as she drifts into her much-mocked Rousseau-inspired pastoral phase, in which she attempts, in her inimitably artificial way, to connect with her natural self — becomes ever more abstract and cut off from reality.

		On the one hand we are invited to observe Marie Antoinette as she was put on display before the courts of her time and on the other hand we are invited to see Marie Antoinette with her gaurd down behind the scenes in the personal space of her bedroom.
		There are really several moments in Marie Antoinette's life that are presented in ways that allow us to identify with her: her search for a confidante, her wish to express her own identity, her first feelings of love.
		With Marie Antoinette Sofia Coppola is experimenting with film as a purely visual medium instead of as a medium that relies on familiar narrative forms and she effectively uses this experimental anti-narrative technique to offer a Marie Antoinette that does not fit into any of the narratives that have been told about her.
