  WSR Narrative Review
Story Synopsis:
In order to secure friendship between Austria and France, 14-year-old Marie Antoinette (Dunst) was pledged to marry 15-year-old Louis XVI (Schwartzman), and at the ripe-old age of 19 she became queen. With all eyes upon her, the queen settled into her privileged life in the Palace of Versailles, totally unaware of what was going on in the outside world around her. Based on the book Marie Antoinette: The Journey by Antonia Fraser. (Tricia Spears)
