Written and Directed by Sofia Coppola
In the lead up to the writer/director's 'Priscilla' hitting screens, the Ritz Cinema is revisiting her filmography.
Overview
Every Thursday between November 30, 2023–January 11, 2024, the Ritz Cinema will become the dreamiest place in Sydney. Across a seven-week period, the picture palace is paying tribute to the filmography of Sofia Coppola — melancholic sisters, cake-eating monarchs and Los Angeles teens breaking into celebrity houses all included.
It all kicks off exactly where the second-generation filmmaker's feature directorial career began, aka with The Virgin Suicides and its ethereal score by Air. From there, viewers will play tourist in Tokyo with the Oscar-winning Lost in Translation, head to 18th century France with Marie Antoinette and laze around an LA hotel with Venice Golden Lion recipient Somewhere.
The real-life tale of The Bling Ring and the civil war drama of The Beguiled also get a run — and wrapping up the lineup is Coppola's brand-new Priscilla.
Showcasing Coppola's films also means showcasing a fantastic array of performances — including Kirsten Dunst in three of Coppola's flicks, Bill Murray singing karaoke and befriending Scarlett Johansson, and everyone from Nicole Kidman to Colin Farrell proving a treat.
Screenings start at 7pm each week.
