Wertmuller. Marie Antoinette with Her Children. 1785 - 86.

Things to look for and think about while watching the movie: |
There is a scene with a well placed pair of shoes. What do they suggest? |
Did Marie Antoinette really say "Let them eat cake," when told that the French people were starving? |
How is music and costume used to create Coppola's fresh point of view? |
Jacques-Louis David. Oath of the Horatii. 1784 - 85.
