Marie Antoinette Turns 20: frankie Lists 20 Films for Coppola Fans

Sofia Coppola's 2006 historical drama Marie Antoinette reaches its 20th anniversary in October, and frankie marked the occasion with a list of 20 films pitched at admirers of the movie. The publication framed Coppola's film less as a faithful portrait of the 18th-century Queen of France than as a whimsical coming-of-age story, crediting its post-punk soundtrack, teenage tribulations and purple Converse high-tops with securing her reputation. Coppola's 1999 debut The Virgin Suicides opens the selection, followed by the 2015 Turkish film Mustang and Peter Weir's 1975 Picnic at Hanging Rock. Marielle Heller's 2015 The Diary of a Teenage Girl and Shannon Murphy's 2019 Babyteeth also appear, alongside Ayden Mayeri's 2026 documentary Summer 2000: The X-Cetra Story. Gia Coppola's 2013 Palo Alto and Jamie Babbit's 1999 But I'm a Cheerleader are included, as are Joachim Trier's 2021 The Worst Person in the World and Céline Sciamma's 2014 Girlhood. Kelly Fremon Craig's 2016 The Edge of Seventeen and Autumn de Wilde's 2020 Emma. follow, with Eva Victor's 2025 Sorry, Baby and both Greta Gerwig's 2019 and Gillian Armstrong's 1994 adaptations of Little Women. Payal Kapadia's 2024 All We Imagine as Light, Chandler Levack's 2025 Mile End Kicks, Sophy Romvari's 2025 Blue Heron and Annie Baker's 2023 Janet Planet round out the middle of the list.
