Why watch this film?
Lost in Translation, the highly successful movie by filmmaker Sofia Coppola which won an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay and was nominated for Best Actor, Best Director, and Best Picture, is certainly deserving of its accolades. Starring Bill Murray (Ghostbusters) and a young Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), the film captures feelings of loneliness, sadness, isolation, and that strange sense of not belonging. This is all seen through the relationship between Murray and Johansson's characters, who are spending time in Tokyo, Japan. He is a fading actor who takes a job doing a commercial for a drink. She is the "model wife" of a photographer. From this emptiness, the director plays with the possibilities of meetings and partings, joys and sorrows, losses and recoveries. It is worth noting that the film, on some levels, dialogues with Spike Jonze's drama Her, as Coppola and Jonze were married at the time and the director has said more than once that she was a "model wife" - the same situation as Scarlett Johansson's character. Watching the two films back-to-back is a great experience.

Somewhere
Who would have known that being a Hollywood star had so many drawbacks? 'Somewhere: In a Corner of the Heart' is an honest and realistic look at the emptiness that comes with material success in the entertainment world, an exclusive 'insight' from a filmmaker who has lived the passageways of Hollywood since she was a child. An original perspective that we don't have access to every day. To top it off, this movie features Elle Fanning in one of her first starring roles, marking the start of a brilliant career.

The Beguiled
The remake of the 1971 movie, which was based on the homonymous book by Thomas P. Cullinan and now directed by Sofia Coppola - who won the Best Director Award at the Cannes Film Festival 2017 - has many merits. It focuses on women empowerment while delivering impeccable performances and a seductive yet brutal Colin Farrel. One of its flaws is the so-called 'whitewashing' - black characters from the book, slaves, were ignored in the adaptation, while Kirsten Dunst's character was supposed to be mixed-raced. Recommended for those looking for stories of strong women, but also for those already familiar with the director's rhythm.

On the Rocks
Sofia Coppola shines again with the script and direction of 'On the Rocks', a comedy about relationships, aging, and the father-daughter relationship. The filmmaker repeats her partnership with Bill Murray, who shows a better performance than in 'Lost in Translation', the same applies to the story. 'On the Rocks' discusses various themes and puts the female figure in the spotlight. We can say that Coppola made her most vulnerable and sensitive film, showing the internal conflicts of the modern woman - who is dealing with problems in marriage and in relation to her own identity. Rashida Jones is the protagonist and, as in almost all her films, she is impeccable, almost magnetic in her performance. Another positive point is the soundtrack, Sofia Coppola always hits the mark in this regard. 'On The Rocks' is a delicious comedy and quite charming.

Priscilla
Based on Priscilla Presley's own memoirs, this film couldn't fit better into Sofia Coppola's filmography (Lost in Translation): we witness the boredom, amid unsatisfying privilege, of a woman emotionally abandoned by her partner or loved ones. In this case, that woman is the wife of one of the greatest myths of American popular culture: Elvis Presley. Emphasis on "myth": Priscilla's memoirs and Coppola's film show the lesser-known side of the star, through the experience of an underage girl who, over time, discovered that behind the voice, talent, and fame was a volatile, drug-addicted, and violent man. If it's about getting a complete view of the King of Rock 'n' Roll, Priscilla is the perfect counterpart to Baz Luhrmann's flamboyant Elvis, and the lead performances by Cailee Spaeny and Jacob Elordi are impeccable.
Drama
![Shrooms](https://media.filmelier.com/tit/xOw54U/thumb/shrooms_NhpjJfA.jpeg)
Shrooms
Follows Dan, a young Venezuelan man currently living in Lisbon, who collects magic mushrooms in the forest and distributes them in the city to those in need of help - like a New Age Robin Hood - using pigeons as carriers.

The Great Escaper
The Great Escaper is a film inspired by a moving true anecdote and is notable for featuring the final performances of the legendary Michael Caine and Glenda Jackson. The story is about a World War II veteran who, unable to join a trip to France to commemorate the 70th anniversary of D-Day in 2014, decides to escape from the nursing home and go on his own. This initiates a parallel narrative between Bernie's journey and what his wife Rene experiences at the nursing home. Although somewhat superficial, the film presents reflections on the ways war is typically portrayed—and idealized—in cinema. However, it manages to avoid cheap sentimentality, thanks largely to the phenomenal performances of its unparalleled leads.

This Closeness
This Closeness might best be described as a film in the lineage of mumblecore. Directed by indie filmmaker Kit Zauhar (who has already garnered similar acclaim for Actual People), the film is about a young couple in crisis who, over a weekend, rent a room in the apartment of another lonely man, who becomes an unwilling witness to their lives and problems. It's a small and extremely intimate film, about three characters who enter into a negotiation over privacy, where intimacy becomes a weapon and spaces, as well as sound, turn into battlefields both emotional and erotic.
