Sofia Coppola: Forever Young

This illustrated critical survey of the Academy Award–winning writer and director's career, covering everything from her groundbreaking music videos through her latest films, is a must-have for fans

Sofia Coppola offers a rich and intimate look at the overarching stylistic and thematic components of Coppola's work. It engages with her creative output while celebrating her talent as an image maker and storyteller.

In addition to critical essays about Coppola's filmography, the book includes interviews with some of her closest collaborators, including musician Jean-Benoît Dunckel and costume designer Nancy Steiner, along with a foreword by Italian filmmaker Alice Rohrwacher.

Along the way, readers meet again a cast of characters mired in the ennui of missed connections: loneliness, frustrated creativity, rebellious adolescence, and the double-edged knife of celebrity, all captured by the emotional, intimate power of the female gaze.

In the two decades since her first feature film was released, Sofia Coppola has created a tonally diverse, meticulously crafted, and unapologetically hyperfeminine aesthetic across a wide range of multimedia work. Her films explore untenable relationships and the euphoria and heartbreak these entail, and Coppola develops these themes deftly and with discernment across her movies and music videos.

From The Virgin Suicides and Marie Antoinette to Lost in Translation and The Beguiled, Coppola's award-nominated filmography is also unique in how its consistent visual aesthetic is informed by and in conversation with contemporary fine art and photography.
