Many famous, well-regarded filmmakers have proven to be incredible visionaries when crafting unforgettable stories, and Sofia Coppola, who is often known for capturing girlhood in a captivating, almost ethereal manner through her lens , is certainly among the most intriguing. Because great tales often rely on imagery that fully expresses the story, cinematography and other elements like production design are also part of what makes a film so appealing.
While this is hardly Coppola's best directing effort on all fronts, those who enjoy holiday films will probably still find A Very Murray Christmas an entertaining watch. With that being said, the TV special is not the filmmaker's most stylish feature. Even if it feels like a long commercial at times, Coppola's film is still visually beautiful, with the filmmaker managing to add a bit of her own holiday magic.
7 'On the Rocks' Starring: Bill Murray, Rashida Jones, Marlon Wayans Close Perhaps one of the most underrated films in Coppola's body of work, On the Rocks is set in New York City and stars The Office's Rashida Jones opposite Coppola's favorite Bill Murray as a father and daughter duo. In the movie, the two embark on an adventure through New York while attempting to reconnect. Meanwhile, they harbor suspicions about her husband's fidelity.
5 'Somewhere' Starring: Stephen Dorff, Elle Fanning, Chris Pontius Despite being an overlooked movie, Somewhere is also worth the while. Coppola's indie 2010 flick is a meditation on celebrity life, success, and isolation. The story is as follows: Stephen Dorff is a newly famous actor who recuperates from a minor injury at a well-known Hollywood retreat named Chateau Marmont.
The set and costume design plays a huge part in Priscilla's storytelling, making it a great picture visually-wise. No one but Coppola could capture the melancholy of 1960s Graceland so well, especially seen through the eyes of a young, at times naive Priscilla Presley. Priscilla is surely not everyone's cup of tea, but those who like it probably love it.
2 'The Virgin Suicides' Starring: Kirsten Dunst, Josh Hartnett, James Woods Next up is the iconic The Virgin Suicides, based on the haunting novel of the same name by Jeffrey Eugenides. The movie stars Kirsten Dunst in a career-defining performance and follows the lives of the five doomed Lisbon sisters, ages 13 to 17, who are unattainable thanks to their Catholic parents.
