Played music from the films of one of my favorite directors, Sofia Coppola. She uses music in really unexpected and non-traditional ways, so I wanted to highlight that by playing a pretty wide-ranging mix of genres this week. ((I also included a few songs from fellow Coppola, Gia’s directorial debut, Palo Alto)). Other than the opening and closing songs, the playlist is organized chronologically by film.
