Place of birth? edit
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 edit
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 edit
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 edit
"Coppola will direct the opera Manon Lescaut for the 2009-2010 season at the Opéra de Montpellier.[1]"
The information was false [1]
References edit
Removing Irrelevant Information edit
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 edit
In a 2022 poll with Sight and Sound, Coppola named these ten films as her favorite.[1]
- 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.
