With a June release date, it looks like The Beguiled is probably going to the Cannes Film Festival in May. Coppola is, I believe, one of the most underrated female auteurs currently working. Both Marie Antoinette and The Bling Ring are much better than the critics would have you believe. Her new film takes place during the Civil War and stars Colin Farrell, Nicole Kidman, Kirsten Dunst, and Elle Fanning.
Coppola’s film is based on a novel by Thomas Cullinan but look at how many women are on the crew:
Film editing: Sarah Flack
Production Design: Anne Ross
Art Decoration: Jennifer Dehghan
Set Decoration: Amy Beth Silver
Costume Design: Stacey Battat
Here is a trailer.
