- More about Sofia Coppola: The Politics of Visual Pleasure
A feminist study of Sofia Coppola's aesthetic through her most influential and well-known films, arguing that she manipulates pleasurable images to unsettle rather than mollify us. The author explores vital themes from the subversion of patriarchy in "The Virgin Suicides" to the "female gothic" in "The Beguiled" and demonstrates that Coppola's films deploy beguilement, mood, and pleasure in the service of a robustly feminist philosophy.

A comprehensive exploration of the mood, texture, tone, and multifaceted meaning of director Sofia Coppola's aesthetic through her most influential and well-known films.
This outstanding academic title, recognized as a Choice Outstanding Academic Title in 2019, offers a profound and sophisticated analysis of Coppola's work. Authored by Rogers, the book delves into the director's artistic approach, challenging the notion that her films are merely characterized by style without substance.
Through a comprehensive survey of Coppola's oeuvre, the author demonstrates that these films are rich, ambiguous, and meaningful. Drawing on insights from feminist philosophy and psychology, Rogers takes an original approach to Coppola, exploring vital themes such as the subversion of patriarchy in "The Virgin Suicides" and the "female gothic" in "The Beguiled."
One of the key arguments presented by Rogers is that Coppola employs beguilement, mood, and pleasure in the service of a robustly feminist philosophy. She skillfully constructs images that evoke specific emotions and cinematic affects, knowing that the viewer's perception and interpretation of these images can vary depending on their context.
The monograph is an extended study of Coppola's exceptional ability to think through and in images. It explores the director's use of visual metaphors, symbols, and narrative techniques to convey complex ideas and themes. By examining the visual language.
