About these Marie Antoinette Movie Worksheets

This movie activity pack is designed to go with the 2006 feature film Marie Antoinette. There is more than one movie with that name – this learning packet matches the version directed by Sofia Coppola and starring Kirsten Dunst in the title role. Marie Antoinette focuses on the life of the title character from shortly before her marriage through the events of the French Revolution which forced her to leave Versailles, never to return.
As such, it provides students with a strong background into many of the issues and problems that were to contribute to the French Revolution.
