AI Summary
Sofia Coppola filmed “Marie Antoinette” while her mother, documentarian Eleanor Coppola, captured 80 hours of behind‑the‑scenes footage. Eleanor had previously shot a similar archive for her 1991 documentary “Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker’s Apocalypse,” which documented Francis Ford Coppola’s work on “Apocalypse Now.” Unlike that earlier project, the “Marie Antoinette” footage remained unused until 2020. That year, Sofia and her family returned to the Coppola family’s Northern California vineyard estate during the COVID lockdown, where the footage was finally accessed.
