Suzanne Ferriss considers the central role of fashion - in its various manifestations - to Coppola's films, exploring fashion's primacy in every cinematic dimension- in film narrative; production, costume and sound design; cinematography; marketing, distribution and auteur branding. She also explores the theme of celebrity, including Coppola's own director-star persona, and argues that Coppola's auteur status rests on an original and distinct visual style, derived from the filmmaker's complex engagement with photography and painting.\u003cbr\u003eFerriss analyzes each of Coppola's six films, categorizing them in two groups- films where fashion commands attention (\u003ci\u003eMarie Antoinette, The Beguiled \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e The Bling Ring\u003c\/i\u003e) and those where clothing and material goods do not stand out ostentatiously, but are essential in establishing characters' identities and relationships (\u003ci\u003eThe Virgin Suicides, Lost in Translation \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e Somewhere\u003c\/i\u003e). Throughout, Ferriss draws on approaches from scholarship on fashion, film, visual culture, art history, celebrity and material culture to capture the complexities of Coppola's engagement with fashion, culture and celebrity. \u003ci\u003eThe Cinema of Sofia Coppola\u003c\/i\u003e is beautifully illustrated with color images from her films, as well as artworks and advertising artefacts.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46629798445214,"sku":"UBD-9781350176621","price":189.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781350176621.jpg?v=1774221305","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781350176621","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
