NEW YORK, Oct. 15 (UPI) -- U.S. actress Kirsten Dunst says the reaction to her film, "Marie Antoinette," at last spring's Cannes Film Festival was not as bad as the media reported.
Dunst plays the young, 18th Century French queen in Sofia Coppola's highly stylized new biopic, which features a 1980s soundtrack.
"It was kind of blown out of proportion," Dunst told reporters in New York.
"Everyone always wants a fun story to tell and there were some boos in one of the screenings, but it wasn't as prominent as everyone is trying to make it out to be," she added. "Obviously, this movie isn't for everyone and people have very strong opinions about Marie Antoinette; that's (France's) history, so I can understand them being passionate and wanting to voice their opinion. It makes sense."
