All too often, the movies of Sofia Coppola have been dismissed as all style, no substance. But such an easy caricature, as this engaging and accessible survey of Coppolas oeuvre demonstrates, fundamentally miscontrues what are rich, ambiguous, meaningful films. Drawing on insights from feminist philosophy and psychology, the author here takes an original approach to Coppola, exploring vital themes from the subversion of patriarchy in The Virgin Suicides to the female gothic in The Beguiled. As Rogers shows, far from endorsing a facile and depoliticized postfeminism, Coppolas films instead deploy beguilement, mood, and pleasure in the service of a robustly feminist philosophy.
