Directed by Sofia Coppola, starring Kirsten Dunst (add more)
Genres: Biography, Drama, History
Continuity: Marie-Antoinette's birthday is on November 2, but when they watch the sunrise, you can see spring wildflowers scattered all over.
Other: When Marie Antoinette asks to be excused from a small reunion at Versailles (after she fantasizes about Fersen), she goes almost running though a hall. If you look at the lamps of the ceiling, they all have light bulbs instead of candles.
Continuity: At the end when Marie is sitting in the bed and the knock at the door startles her, her dressing gown is off her shoulder and then up on her shoulder when she sits up.
Revealing: Marie-Antoinette is shown to always be naked under her chemise, as was customary back them. But Kirsten Dunst's underwear can be seen through it many times in the movie, especially when she is going to bed and the chemise stretches over her body.
Factual error: In the scene where Marie is trying on shoes, a pair of powder blue high top sneakers can be seen next to her feet. It must have been done intentionally, but since there is no trace of modern apparel anywhere else in the film (the closest would be the mere mention of hot pink dress fabric but, as it's not shown, we don't know what exactly Marie calls "hot pink") these shoes (and the fabric) can't be considered part of a thematic element or artistic license, making this a factual error.
Factual error: Marie Antoinette has moved into her new vacation home following the birth of her daughter. Her friends are visiting, she is walking through the field of wildflowers, and she blows a ladybug off her finger. The camera pans upward to show her gazing at the sky. There is a very obvious vapor-trail from a large airliner cutting through the center of the camera shot, from one side of the screen to the opposite, predating jet-liners by over 150 years.
Revealing: Kirsten Dunst's contact lenses can be seen multiple times during close-ups.
Continuity: At the beginning, when Marie Antoinette gets into the carriage she is on the left side, but when the camera focuses on her again she is sitting on the right side. Also, she is wearing a blue dress when she arrives at the tent, but when she gets out of the carriage her dress is white.
Continuity: In the last scene, inside the coach, Marie Antoinette looks out the window at the palace garden. Louis asks if she's admiring her new lemon tree avenue; she answers she's only saying goodbye. If you look at the view of the window when Louis asks the question, you can see half of the fountain and the lemon tree avenue quite close. Next frame, when Marie answers, you can see almost the whole fountain and the lemon tree avenue quite far from where the coach is.
