Participating in the film "Marie Antoinette" (2006), the actors were ready to be criticized by historians and biographers of the real historical figure. Any inaccuracies could offend the memory of the queen.
Jason Schwartzman
His choice of role is due to external features. After the premiere of the film Marie Antoinette (2006), the actors and roles remained under the scrutiny of critics. The latter recognized in Jason tangible similarities with the prototype of his character. But also directors could rely on his outstanding acting skills.
Schwartzman comes from a wealthy cinematic family, his mother is a famous actress, and his father is a film producer. With such parents, he could not have any special difficulties in his career. But Jason himself for some reason was not inspired by the example of his parents and became a successful musician with the skills of a composer. For a while he performed on stage as part of a musical collective and took a place behind the drum set.
After the breakup of the group, Jason decides to earn money by writing musical compositions for the movie, his melodies sound in several films. So for some time he remains as close as possible to the filming process, very soon Schwartzman himself appears in the frame.
Jason Schwartzman was born in 1980. Today he is a sought-after actor with cinematic experience. Already in the film "Marie Antoinette" (2006), the actors got themselves quite an experienced shooting partner. Schwartzman then already managed to accumulate 10 good pictures in his track record. Now he had to play Louis XVI.
Kirsten Dunst
At 35, Kirsten Dunst surprisingly remains a sought-after and recognizable actress. Her career began even with children's roles, but already at the first attempt the girl fell into the cinematic and television "clip". The girl was immediately invited to the second shoot, since that time she almost never remained without work in the frame.
With all the flattering reviews of her childhood game, no one could have predicted how well she would survive growing up. In fact, it has been proven that successful actors in childhood roles often leave the profession after adulthood. But Kirsten brilliantly survived growing up in her career and at the moment did not lose a bit, but even increased her recognition.
Kirsten Biography

The girl received a good education and debuted on the screen as early as 7 years old. Until adulthood, she managed to fulfill 26 roles in the frame. On the set of the film Marie Antoinette (2006), the actors and the director should already have reckoned with her stunning experience. At that time, Kirsten was only 26 years old, but the girl has accumulated more than 40 roles in the track record.
She was entrusted with playing not just a difficult character, but a real historical figure - Marie Antoinette. Actors for any oversight would be fiercely criticized by the director and critics. In addition, the tape was also evaluated by literary scholars and scientists. Work has become one of the strongest in Dunst's career.
About the film
In the film Marie Antoinette (2006), the actors and the director's team prepared to convey the atmosphere of time as accurately as possible. The calculation of the creators of the tape is clear - to collect an audience of fans of the aesthetics of the Rococo era. The viewer receives a detailed description of not just events, but everyday life in small things. The main character will become a victim of political practice to unite alliances between states by marrying the children of monarchs. Marie Antoinette was preparing to ensure peace between the French and the Austrians. But the girl "crowns" her fate with completely different circumstances. Her reign coincides with the beginning of the decline of the monarchy.

Not only the scenery, but also costumes, dishes in scenes with a feast corresponded to that time. On the set, the whole team had to spend hours in the atmosphere of the sunset era of the monarchy.
