10 Films Booed At Cannes That Went On To Win Many Awards

Following in the footsteps of her father Francis Ford Coppola, Sofia’s directorial career has seen her genre-hop from one film to the next. After Oriental romantic drama Lost in Translation, she moved into biopic territory with Marie Antoinette.

The general response to the film was lukewarm across the board with a Metascore of 65, although Roger Ebert was a fan of Coppola’s work, and claimed that most people had overplayed the number of people booing at the end of its Cannes premiere.

Certainly not Sofia Coppola’s most enlightening work, it might just well be her most misunderstood however.

Notable Accolades:

Marie Antoinette won an Oscar *gasp* for costume design. It also picked up a few smaller awards at Cannes and went on to enjoy modest success from various critics societies and smaller film festivals, mainly across the US.
