Talk:Sofia Coppola

Place of birth?

English article says born in Los Angeles, CA. All other languages say born in New York City. IMDB also says born in New York City. I am confused...

Same with day of birth: some sources say 14 May 1971, some tell us 12 May, some 13 May. Is there a reason for this?

Marie Antoinette

Is it right to say the reception for Marie Antoinette at Cannes was chilly? There were boos, but that's the way it works at Cannes; I'm sure cheers were reported too. The reviews were fairly favourable.

Elektrobank video

It says, "She played a gymnast in the video for "Elektrobank" by the Chemical Brothers, directed by her then-husband Spike Jonze." The video came out in 1997, but they weren't married until 1999.

Removing Opera note

"Coppola will direct the opera Manon Lescaut for the 2009-2010 season at the Opéra de Montpellier.[1]"

The information was false

Removing Irrelevant Information

I'm sure whoever made this article absolutely loves Sophia Coppola. Encouraging and promoting women in the industry is always great! But a lot of this information reads less like your average Wikipedia article about a public figure and more like a fanpage. I have gone ahead and deleted the following, and added my justifications for doing so:

EDIT: I messed up by forgetting to remove the sections. I removed the "Favorite Film" and "Styles and Influences" section. My justifications for it are in the talk below.

Favorite films

In a 2022 poll with Sight and Sound, Coppola named these ten films as her favorite.

• A Place in the Sun (1951)
• Seven Samurai (1954)
• La notte (1961)
• The Heartbreak Kid (1972)
• Bugsy Malone (1976)
• Rumble Fish (1983)
• Purple Rain (1984)
• Lost in America (1985)
• The Piano (1993)
• In the Mood for Love (2000)

• We do not need an entire section about Sofia Coppola's favorite films. If someone wants to find a place to put it, go ahead. But we do not need an entire section.
