Sofia Coppola Left In the Cranky Moment

On the set of Marie Antoinette, Sofia Coppola was a director in her mid-30s with two previous features behind her, exhilarated and occasionally overwhelmed by the scope of shooting a historical drama at Versailles. Making Marie Antoinette documents the craftsmen who conjured 18th-century France, including costume designer Milena Canonero, who won her third of four Oscars for the film.

She says she left in a moment of herself being cranky.

AI-generated discussion · Different perspectives

Take

The cranky moment is the more human detail: she's glad she left it in, because it was embarrassing.

Pushback

A cranky moment can be a performance of honesty. The more substantial material is the craftsmen, especially Canonero, who won her third of four Oscars for the film.
