Marie Antoinette

Aside from a few costume details, the main inaccuracy in Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette has to do with Marie and her husband’s inability to consummate their marriage. In the film, Louis is said to be afraid of sex and will not partake in the act. However, the real story is Louis had phimosis, a condition in which the foreskin of the penis cannot be fully retracted. His condition was eventually fixed with an operation. The two did eventually do the deed and ended up having four children together.
