"All eyes will be on you," Austrian empress Maria Theresa tells her youngest daughter Marie Antoinette. It's both a promise and a warning. Sofia Coppola's impressionist retelling of France's iconic but ill-fated queen features Milena Canonero's lush, Academy Award-winning costume design and follows the teenage bride from her marriage to Louis XVI and her reign as queen at 19 through the fall of Versailles. Presented with an introduction to Sofia Coppola's references and visual influences by series host Nathalie Atkinson.
