Sofia Coppola is the youngest child and only daughter of Francis Ford Coppola. Her films have a visual style that have been described as hazy and dream-like; filled with neglected characters that long to be acknowledged and seen.
Coppola has established herself from her father, from her Academy Award-winning writing in Lost in Translation to edgy historical efforts like Marie Antoinette. It is her directorial debut, The Virgin Suicides, however, that perhaps defined her fearlessness to examine dark and controversial subject matter.
