Sofia Coppola (b. 1971) was baptized on film. After appearing in
The Godfather as an infant, it took twenty-five years for Coppola
to take her place behind the camera, helming her own adaptation of
Jeffery Eugenides's celebrated novel The Virgin Suicides. Following
her debut, Coppola was the third woman ever to be nominated for
Best Director and became an Academy Award winner for Best Original
Screenplay for her sophomore feature, Lost in Translation. She has
also been awarded the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival and
Best Director at Cannes. In addition to her filmmaking, Coppola is
recognized as an influential tastemaker. She sequenced the
so-called Tokyo dream pop of the Lost in Translation soundtrack
like an album, a success in its own right. Her third film, Marie
Antoinette, further showcased Coppola's ear for the unexpected
needle drop, soundtracking the controversial queen's life with a
series of New Romantic bangers popular during the director's
adolescence. The conversations compiled within Sofia Coppola:
Interviews mark the filmmaker's progression from dismissed
dilettante to acclaimed auteur of among the most visually
arresting, melancholy, and wryly funny films of the twenty-first
century. Coppola discusses her approach to collaboration, Bill
Murray as muse, and how Purple Rain blew her twelve-year-old mind.
There are interviews from major publications, but Coppola speaks
with musician Kim Gordon for indie magazine Bust and Tavi Gevinson,
then-adolescent founder of online teen magazine Rookie as well. The
volume also features a new and previously unpublished interview
conducted with volume editor Amy N. Monaghan. To read these
interviews is to witness Sofia Coppola coming into her own as a
world-renowned artist.
