Kirsten Dunst’s hate list just got a little bigger…
Ms Dunst has been blasted by historians for her “frightful” interpretation of French Queen Marie Antoinette.
Her new biopic, Marie Antoinette, was booed at the recent Cannes Film Festival, and she has now be attacked by historians for her “overtly sexual performance,” which is not factually based.
The president of France’s Marie Antoinette Association says “I’ve seen the trailer for the film on the Internet. It is a fright.”
“We’ve spent years trying to convince people that the queen was not just a libertine who told the starving to eat cake. What do you see on the trailer? You see Marie Antoinette eating cake. You see her lying naked on a chaise lounge. “
“I fear the film is going to set us back many years.”
Dunst bites back, telling people not to take the movie too seriously. “It’s kind of like a history of feelings rather than a history of facts. So don’t expect a masterpiece theatre, educational Marie Antoinette biopic.”
