Archive Sofia Coppola

"Archive" marks Sofia Coppola's debut book, providing an encompassing retrospective of her distinguished and influential film career. Drawing from Coppola's personal collection of photographs and memorabilia, including early developmental work, reference collages, script annotations, and previously unreleased behind-the-scenes materials, the book offers a comprehensive overview of all eight of her films to date. Spanning from "The Virgin Suicides" (1999) to "Lost in Translation" (2003), "Marie Antoinette" (2006), "The Beguiled" (2017), and her upcoming feature "Priscilla" (fall 2023), which delves into Priscilla Presley's formative years at Graceland, this luxurious volume reflects on Coppola's defining and unmistakable cinematic legacy of the twenty-first century.

Edited and annotated personally by Coppola, "Archive" provides an intimate exploration of her creative methods, influences, and collaborators, offering unprecedented insights into her artistic processes. Alongside the personal imagery and texts from Coppola's archive, the book features an extended interview with renowned film journalist Lynn Hirschberg, delving into the remarkable body of work they encapsulate.
