After watching The Virgin Suicides (directed by Sofia Coppola, 1999) last week, I decided that I needed to finally see Marie Antoinette (also directed by S. Coppola, 2006). I remember seeing the trailers when it first came out, and I really wanted to see it. I ended up not seeing it, however, so I walked over to my friendly video store--That's Rentertainment-- and I finally got it. I watched it and absolutely fell in love. It is by far one of my top three favorite movies of all time. Having seen Sofia's three biggest films (including Lost in Translation), I realized how much I loved her style. Not just that, but I became obsessed with her family. Three of her cousins include Jason Schwartzman (actor, love him), John Schwartzman (frontman of Rooney), and Nicolas Cage (the least legit of the three). Not to mention her uncle is THE Francis Ford Coppola. Anyway, the end of the story is that I love her as a director, and I also love her ridiculously multi-talented family.
