Even those who generally dislike Coppola seem to agree that Marie Antoinette is excellent filmmaking - It was about 10 years ahead of the curve, too. Judy Davis' deadpan is straight out of Yorgos Lanthimos' The Favourite. Don't forget Rip Torn as a Texan Louis XV and Marianne Faithfull as Empress Maria Teresa of Austria - the casting (and performances) are wacky and discordant, but everything works. I'd say there's a parallel between Emma Stone as Abigail, Baroness Masham and Kirsten Dunst as Marie Antoinette, too - having these young American actresses in elaborate European period trappings provides an extra, meta-type "fish out of water" experience that their characters are facing in their films.
Then there's Luca Guadagnino's use of Sufjan Stevens and the Psychedellic Furs in Call Me by Your Name... There seems to be S. Coppola DNA in the way the music was selected, foregrounded and backgrounded there. The visuals and sun-dappled cinematography are reminiscent of Coppola, too...
What do you think?
