This illustrated survey of Sofia Coppola’s career is the definitive book on the Academy Award-winning director covering everything from her groundbreaking music videos to deep dives into her films which include The Virgin Suicides, Lost in Translation, Marie Antoinette and The Beguiled. Celebrating Coppola’s talent as an image-maker and storyteller, the book offers a rich and intimate look at the overarching stylistic and thematic complexities of Coppola’s work from rebellious adolescence to frustrated creativity, and from loneliness to celebrity, all captured by the emotional, intimate power of the female gaze.

The Results

As well as the essays which uniquely pair the director’s film thematically, the book features revelatory interviews, conducted by the author, with some of Coppola’s closest collaborators, including editor Sarah Flack, composer Jean-Benoît Dunckel and actress Kristen Dunst.

As much an art book as a film book, the design of Sofia Coppola mirrors the meticulous craft of the director’s filmography and shares a visual aesthetic that draws on contemporary fine art and photography. There are also exclusive behind-the-scenes photographs from Sofia’s close friend Andrew Durham, and a foreword written by Italian filmmaker Alice Rohrwacher.
