Reviews

This most comprehensive study of Sofia Coppola’s films so far asks us to consider what might happen when we put her pampered privileged worlds into dialogue with the insights of fourth-wave feminism and critical race scholarship. The result is an intriguing emphasis on how Coppola’s films stress that joy emerges from acknowledgement of vulnerability and wrestling with bad feelings. Adding their voice to the ongoing debate about Coppola’s position within feminist film studies, the authors make a notable contribution to Coppola scholarship and this book will undoubtedly appeal to cultural studies scholars, critical race scholars, and those working in the area of Coppola and feminist/postfeminist media studies. -- Fiona Handyside, University of Exeter
