Sofia Coppola Breaks Down the Dinner Scene from "The Beguiled" | Vanity Fair

[@purplelucrezia]

Kirsten Dunst is Marie Antoinette, she can wear whatever she wants...

[@thebiscuitrose]

purplelucrezia lol....yes. I think that too. she's the best actress too.

I really like it when people pronounce their names. If I ever have a podcast or show one day, all my guests will have to start off by pronouncing their names.

[@JudiChristopher]

THIS absolutely so FREAKY... Today I was reworking (thoughts) of how to shoot a similar scene from my Screenplay, that when finished, I wanted Sofia Coppola to see... I even have a bottle of Wine from her family's vineyard, ready when I'm finished with the screenplay... I was thinking: What or rather how would Sofia do the shooting scene between the (many) characters I have in this one scene at a dinner table... after many contemplations of scenarios, I decide to take a break... I had to stop and eat lunch and thought I would watch KZbin to relax and maybe if I was lucky, I would find something to help me with my dilemma... Low and behold... I found your (fabulous) video with Sofia Coppola discuss EXACTLY what I needed to hear... I am Blessed. "Thank YOU, Vanity Fair for sharing this great video...

[@JaiProdz]

Yes! Update us Queen!

i could watch a whole documentary about this movie thanks a lot for the upload Vanity Fair

[@evisser2482]

I love this! So interesting! Sofia is a brilliant mind! Details, emotions, artistry it's all there!

[@twheeler1980]

First half of this movie was like an above average college theatre production, the second half I was breathless!!! Just masterful. Kirsten Dunst's face in the final moments of this film quietly destroyed me. Coppola will get the Oscar for this.

I've just seen the film. It found it gorgeous, from any point of view. I sometimes like Sofia Coppola's movies, sometimes not, but this one... to me it's great.

[@rosea2350]

I love the feminine energy of this movie.

[@ill2molly]

In this scene, we're getting Sofia Coppola's perspective in intricate detail of what it's like to shoot the Dinner scene for her movie. I couldn't watch it all in one sitting because I had to answer the phone and talk with my mom. But, hopefully, you wouldn't be able to tell.

Just watched this for the first time (channel surfing. Didn't know anything about it). I Thought it was pretty good. What I liked most was the music and cinematography. The closing shot is gorgeous.

[@oooodaxteroooo]

the brunette girl in the darkness playing the violin. favorite shot of the film. really hit me and my relation to my anima. nice film!

[@Builder44708]

This movie was so much its own thing - it was terrifying somehow; I can’t describe it. I think Sofia has the ability to do that - she makes movies that you can’t pin down. And I’m not even just talking about genre; you can’t even pin down how they make you feel!

Nice and straightforward

[@salimcardine]

That's a remake, this story was already told with Clint Eastwood. The purpose is to show Kidman and Farrell together and make money with a twisted story like S Coppola usually does.

She's also a baby and a refugee in the previous 2 Godfathers.

[@jillianshene9887]

[@Dale_Blackburn]

Really good movie. But i wonder how they did so many editing mistakes with such a high budget equipments.. Some scenes were just amateurishly captured.. it feels like scenes disconnected to each other.

[@curko6349]

Vincent comió bien

[@RaikenXion]

I was just wondering was Sofia Coppla looking to make this movie more in the kind of style of Fifty Shades of Grey because that was so popular, and thats why she chose to cut out all the slavery and incest themes from the book?

[@tomaskuli177]

It was boring and I had high hopes...needed way more seduction scenes and some way to explore motivation or backstories to explain motivations. And something was missing...can't put my fingeron it - passion and slavery, dismissed in one line "the slaves left". Well, that explains everything!!! Southern women being complicit had zero problem doing, um, what they did to maintain they're style of life. Ho- hum. Coppola lucky as shit she has that last name, so she can continue her self indulgence.

[@Theadamsfamily2000]

So boring. The friend I went with had to explain why everything happened since so much was left out from the book. It was awful.

[@RaikenXion]

Fuckin A! great point Ive been saying this is a very self indulgent movie, the original was far superior.

[@Emmy-ox3hf]

Can she break down why this movie was boring as hell

[@thowaibabenslema1811]

i like that she is a female director and i love empowering female directors but seriously there are no people of color actors/actresses

[@sebastianquevedoramirez2984]

So?

[@arianewhouse6153]

Feminism in America means WHITE feminism I've been saying it for years. Shes not the only one though I know plenty besides its not a surprise the majority of her films are 90% white woman empowering movies.

[@sebastianquevedoramirez2984]

'The Beguiled' is not about female empowerment lol

[@thowaibabenslema1811]

Sebastian Quevedo Ramírez hunty im not talkin about the plot of the movie im talkin about the casting and that has nothing to do with the plot

[@calebgarcia]

It's Virginia during the Civil War so the only black characters would have been slaves and Sofia chose not to include slaves because the story wasn't about that.

[@Carlos-ln8fd]

Awesome awesome movie

[@jakcarn4184]

The Clint Eastwood movie is better

[@thowaibabenslema1811]

i like that she is a female director and i love empowering frmale directors but seriously there are no black actors/actresses

[@thevoid99]

well, the story is based on a novel and sofia didn't feel comfortable with having the book's lone black character in a slave be part of the story as she preferred to put more focus on the younger girls and the other women. the maid character was important but sofia's version chose to have the slaves already gone. it would've been detrimental to the story if she had to put in a black character as it would've felt forced.

[@billwill9720]

Who cares? The world doesn't revolve around black people, you can't expect them to be in every movie. Why aren't you complaining about the lack of Hispanics, or Asians? Why don't you judge the work for it's quality and not the skin color of the actors?

[@HiKONiCONiCO]

I agree, this was a missed opportunity to explore female dynamics in 18th century Confederacy. Sofia clearly wanted to show the dynamic of women and the change of dynamic when you introduce a male into the mix. It would've been a good challenge and social lesson for her to explore themes where Black Women not only have to deal with their feminity but also the intersection of their race in a movie about female power dynamics. I would think sofia is more than capable she just didn't want to touch it because of the subject matter and maybe perhaps underutilizing black bodies in her story and the scrutiny that comes with it. Its a shame because they shot on a PLANTATION and tried to be as ACCURATE as possible in the 18TH CENTURY. it isn't that difficult to showcase how white women mistreat Black Women. Just show the slave and master dynamic. a few shots of these women demonstrating their power over a black woman doesn't seem like it would be that hard to show. It would also be interesting to see how the newly introduce male would interact with the woman as well. We'll just have to wait and see for some other brave director to tackle these issues head on.

[@bravoman0015]

Bill Will because there's a black character in book and the original movie

[@HiKONiCONiCO]

oh. Well then Sophia Coppola just didn't want to do more homework. Passionate enough to stand for women, too lazy to figure out the intersections of identity that stems under the umbrella of being a woman.

Yawn.

[@cloedoso3724]

s.s lmaooo

[@Ангелвасилев-й1в]

Because it's set in a school in the south during the Civil War jackass. Black people were kinda busy, you know fighting for their rights and freedom, to be around some rich white lady institution. What's your next question, why were there no Latinos in Braveheart? Because sometimes it doesn't really make sense for them to be there.

[@emmadilemma9106]

[@azaz2756]

Baby Irene It's what she knows, what's the problem? There are rich people, there are films about rich people.

[@Foundlilly11]

I think because she grew up sort of in the spotlights and close to famous actors, she choses those subjects. If she were to make a movie about a family struggling to keep it together in a bad neighbourhood, it maybe wouldnt be believable. Her movies always have a character that is not comfortable in the riches and attention and who would rather be a face in the crowd. Thats why I thought her little Mermaid movie could have been brilliant. She knows how to capture people longing to be something else.

[@brendantaylor3570]

Mirthe Bloom Well said.

[@Daisytoo]

"The Beguiled", as directed by Coppola, is as vapid as Coppola herself. Just awful.

[@denizbasak]

lol sofia's melancholic atmosphere doesn't have to be everybody's cup of tea but you just can't label it as "vapid"

One of the worst movie I have seen in a while .

[@tomaskuli177]

cristianonyc Boring. Waste of two hours (Worth commercials). No sexual tension...at all. No suspense...nothing. In a theater with mature adults. The biggest tension was the WTF??? Thoughts of the audience. *That* you could cut with a knife. Very disappointing. And entire group left so they wouldn't die of boredom. It was a case of survival instincts.

[@cristianonyc]

I'm still in shock Sofia Coppola won Best Director for this movie at the Cannes Film Festival . Senseless and boring movie .
