Sofia Coppola's movies have a very distinctive style - pastel colours, soft focus and slow camera movements - all of which add a romantic feel to her work. The influence of photography is very clear in each of her movies. What I love about her style is how aesthetically beautiful her films are. Each scene is thoughtfully designed and could easily be scenes from a photo shoot.
These are a few stills from her movies. The composition and use of colour seems really unusual for this medium.

Somewhere was the most recent film she made. As a movie it had little direction or plot and was essentially one breath-taking scene after another.
