I seem to get the impression that many people either hate or love the films of Sofia Coppola. I've heard many criticisms that her films are more style than substance however I don't entirely agree. Personally, I enjoy the visual aspects of her film making and her subtle potrayals of young women (and pretty pastel cakes). She also has a wonderful ability to create certain moods within her films.

Personally, I love Sofia...she is one of my all time favourite directors. Her ability to capture little sensations and moments in such a visually gorgeous way makes her films such a treat to watch.

Gorgeous post, as always! :)
I love her and her movies, she's an amazingly talented woman...
Hope you're fine!

Your posts always have such a calming affect on me ... and I love Sofia. I think people assume that a fascination with surfaces and style equals superficiality and gloss, which is not always the case. If a film can make me feel with its surfaces, then it has intrinsic value for me.
A beautiful string of stills... I like your choices.
Ashley: Of course that's ok! You seem lovely and thanks so much for reading.
Mila: She is indeed talented. Thanks dear!
Hila: That's a really eloquent way of putting it, thanks for your thoughts. I hope you find some more calm in this crazy world. :)
Gracia: Thank you! :)
Oh Sofia! She features quite heavily in my dissertation.
Hi dear,
You asked me if i study photography....no, i wish!
I do a cultural studie at university, but it's not really my thing. So who knows what comes up next?
Thanks for your sweet comment and i hope you're fine too!

Well I'm a fan of her work. Her films are very uniquely hers, very sensuous and sensitive.
Yes, I agree. Really beautiful. Each such a great moment.
I've got to say her films are a feast to the eyes, and that's not a bad thing. Sometimes the deepest contents come in the form of images or sounds... Instead of being said outloud, they are transmited in a more intuitive way...
what a gorgeous post!
I love Sofia's movies. She's a master (mistress) in creating an atmosphere. And now that I think of it, she's the only director I own all major movies of on DVD (I usually don't bother buying movies as I rarely rewatch). So I guess I'm definitely on the "love" side :)
i think this is a lovely post!
I've watched each of these three movies about a dozen times, but I've always felt Coppola's real talent was the ability to choose the most visually pleasing shots! Her movies always are a little bit on the slow side, which, luckily is my cup of tea!
