I find Sofia Coppola to be both a compelling and incredible film director for many reasons. Some of my favorite movies she has produced include Marie Antoinette, The Virgin Suicides, and The Bling Ring. Aspects that I find make her a great director include her very distinct aesthetic which can be clearly seen throughout all of her films. Themes and patterns she uses to portray her aesthetic include the use of soft, natural lighting and a pastel color pallet, all of which create a very dreamlike atmosphere. Coppola also uses music as a strong way to link her characters to the overall theme of her movies as well. I find all of these qualities appealing because it not only speaks to my own sense of aesthetics, but it also has an overall refreshing and visually pleasing quality that is not often found in films. Because she is considered an "indi-filmmaker," her movies aren't usually shown in bigger movie theaters, which is why I encourage people to check her out. As female directors often don't get recognized, Coppola is a very talented filmmaker that has created many interesting and entertaining films and should be acknowledged more for her work.
