The Cinema of Sofia Coppola provides the first comprehensive
analysis of Coppola's oeuvre that situates her work broadly in
relation to contemporary artistic, social and cultural currents.
Suzanne Ferriss considers the central role of fashion - in its
various manifestations - to Coppola's films, exploring fashion's
primacy in every cinematic dimension: in film narrative;
production, costume and sound design; cinematography; marketing,
distribution and auteur branding. She also explores the theme of
celebrity, including Coppola's own director-star persona, and
argues that Coppola's auteur status rests on an original and
distinct visual style, derived from the filmmaker's complex
engagement with photography and painting. Ferriss analyzes each of
Coppola's six films, categorizing them in two groups: films where
fashion commands attention (Marie Antoinette, The Beguiled and The
Bling Ring) and those where clothing and material goods do not
stand out ostentatiously, but are essential in establishing
characters' identities and relationships (The Virgin Suicides, Lost
in Translation and Somewhere). Throughout, Ferriss draws on
approaches from scholarship on fashion, film, visual culture, art
history, celebrity and material culture to capture the complexities
of Coppola's engagement with fashion, culture and celebrity. The
Cinema of Sofia Coppola is beautifully illustrated with color
images from her films, as well as artworks and advertising
artefacts.
