With its lush costumes, decadent food spreads and playfully anachronistic soundtrack, Sofia Coppola’s gorgeous 2006 film “Marie Antoinette” is a phenomenon of the aughts, a kaleidoscopic yet emotionally dark foray into youthful isolation and, like much of the filmmaker’s work, the bubble of privi...

This Venice competition entry from director May el-Toukhy ('Queen of Hearts') revolves around a maid whose past threatens to unravel her future in the wake of World War II.
