"Sofia's
spare style could hardly be more different from the baroque
grandiloquence of her father. And yet she has taken from him the
risky art of personal film-making, of working out the big issues
of her life in her movies, of just going ahead and doing it,
even when you're not sure what "it" is. If The Virgin
Suicides distilled the hopeless longings of adolescence to
their essence, Lost in Translation is about how the most
unexpected, even temporary human bonds can make you take stock
and grow up." -

"So
far, she has succeeded on her own terms and in her quietly
confident way, defining some kind of hazy-youth cultural drift,
the somnambulance of a generation raised on style, ironic
pastiche and disengagement. How long that moment will last is
anyone's guess but, thus far, Sofia Coppola is its most
distinctive arbiter. " -

"As
the daughter of venerated filmmaker
Francis Ford Coppola, Sofia Coppola faced a sizable
challenge establishing her own identity as a director when she
first started making feature films in 1999. Since then, she has
not only emerged from the shadow of her famous father, but
become a standard-bearer for quality and integrity in the
moviemaking industry." -

"Everyone
in my family is in the film business; I knew I wanted to be
creative and it was important in my family to be artistic." -
