How Sofia Coppola Uses Her Work to Tell Her Life Story

Everyone has a story to tell. Everyone has their own crosses to carry. Everyone wants to be found. But very few have the luxury of having a way to tell their own stories and make themselves known to the world. Sofia Coppola is one of those very lucky people called filmmakers, who have the vision and creativity to tell their stories in a visually engaging way that we, mere mortals, only get to enjoy, but never make ourselves. While she has made movies that deal with universal topics of our time, from her first success Lost in Translation to her most recent, On The Rocks, her works are also deeply personal pieces - which adds a very interesting layer to her whole career.

Midway through The Virgin Suicides (1999), Trip Fontaine (Josh Hartnett) turns to his father (Peter Snider) for advice about his high school crush, Lux Lisbon (Kirsten Dunst). “You just need to talk to her at school, you know, about anything.

Directors Sofia Coppola, Francis Ford Coppola, and Jane Campion also made an appearance, and the ambience was imbued with an electric energy, as guests were clearly glad to be back and celebrating the Oscars in person after two years away.

Sofia Coppola Took A Huge Risk In Writing Lost In Translation For Bill Murray

I still remember seeing director Sofia Coppola's "Lost in Translation" in the theater way back in 2003. I was completely enamored with the film, which still remains a favorite. I've loved Coppola's work since "The Virgin Suicides," and while I've accepted there will never be a movie made about my life, if there were, I'd want her to direct it. She captures the importance of all those moments that seem small, but are actually monumental, and she does it to an incredible soundtrack — I am listening to the music of "Lost in Translation" as I write this.

Jane Campion Says Filmmakers Can Be “Wilder” In TV Than Movies, In 1hr Q&A Conversation With Sofia Coppola

It’s been eleven years since her feature “Bright Star” (2009) and four years since her last series, the second season of ‘Top Of The Lake,‘ titled “Top of the Lake: China Girl,” but legendary auteur Jane Campion (“The Piano“). is finally back. Her latest film, the luminous and haunting “The Power Of The Dog,” comes out December 1 on Netflix (November 17 in a limited theatrical release; read our review here). The movie centers on a charismatic rancher (Benedict Cumberbatch) who inspires fear and awe in those around him. But the order of his world is turned upside down when his usually submissive and pliant brother (Jesse Plemons) brings home a new wife (Kirsten Dunst) and her son (Kodi Smit-McPhee). Seemingly incensed by his brother’s decision to have a life outside him and bring strangers into their house, he begins a relentless icy campaign of emotional torment aimed at what he says as the two interlopers.
