    ENTOURAGE

    Louis XVI, played by Jason Schwartzman (at rear), and his wife (Dunst, in pale blue) hold court at a late-night gambling party. The queen s lover, Axel von Fersen (played by Jamie Dornan, front left), watches longingly from afar. Shot in Paris at the Centre Historique des Archives Nationales, Hôtel de Soubise—where many of the movie s interiors were filmed.

    The sumptuous costumes were created by Milena Canonero and the wigs by Rocchetti. Set design by Jean Hughes de Chatillon.
