The footage went unseen for two decades, until, in fulfillment of her mother's wish, it became a film of its own, released as a tribute from Sofia and Roman Coppola. It works both as a behind-the-scenes look at an ambitious take on 18th-century French history and as a touching mother's observation of her daughter at work.", "url": "https://noky.io/en/london/events/making-marie-antoinette-39220/", "official_url": "https://www.thegardencinema.co.uk/film/making-marie-antoinette/", "image": "https://noky.io/images/9d7921a01335dc041edfa908aed9d16b22ac11c98e49c9e6c001d2d9426adeaa-1200.webp", "dates": [{"start": "2026-10-31T15:45:00Z", "end": null, "place": "The Garden Cinema", "address": "Parker Street 39-41, WC2B 5PQ London", "tickets": ""}, {"start": "2026-11-01T14:00:00Z", "end": null, "place": "The Garden Cinema", "address": "Parker Street 39-41, WC2B 5PQ London", "tickets": ""}, {"start": "2026-11-03T18:30:00Z", "end": null, "place": "The Garden Cinema", "address": "Parker Street 39-41, WC2B 5PQ London", "tickets": ""}, {"start": "2026-11-04T12:30:00Z", "end": null, "place": "The Garden Cinema", "address": "Parker Street 39-41, WC2B 5PQ London", "tickets": ""}, {"start": "2026-11-05T11:20:00Z", "end": null, "place": "The Garden Cinema", "address": "Parker Street 39-41, WC2B 5PQ London", "tickets": ""}], "similar": [{"title": "À propos de Nice", "start": "2026-11-10T18:30:00Z", "end": null, "place": "Royal Academy of Arts", "address": "Piccadilly, W1J 0BD London", "price": "£20/£12", "price_from": "20.00", "price_to": "20.00", "tickets_url": "https://my.royalacademy.org.uk/53167/53168", "category": "film", "tags": ["film/documentary", "history/20th-century"], "description": "This is a film screening of À propos de Nice, followed by a talk about 20th-century life in the French Riviera.
