Femininity and strength are hardly opposite ideals, as no one knows better than Sofia Coppola, who has arguably defined the aesthetic of American girlhood in the 21st century. In her ELLE cover story earlier this year, the filmmaker spoke about her work to fulfill one of her mother’s last wishes: turning Eleanor Coppola’s footage from the set of Marie Antoinette into a documentary in time for the film’s 20th anniversary. The doc hits theaters October 23, along with a 4K re-release of the original film, a companion book, and a major museum exhibition in Versailles. Get all the details below.
