 SOFIA COPPOLA has lived a charmed life to be certain, but that shouldn't deflect from her considerable talent at capturing the ethereal moment on film. No doubt she had a masterful teacher at home, but the vision it takes to capture the ennui of a generation in LOST IN TRANSLATION is her own voice. Also of that moment was designer MARC JACOBS who expoded onto the fashion scene and seemed to connect all the dots that Generation X and "heroin chic" were batting away at. In MARC BY SOFIA a simultaneous snapshot of 90's era fashion with its punk rock, pop-up style in late 20th century New York is woven together with Coppola's life long friendship with Jacobs and the era they both evolved from.  A rare treat shown in honor of his recent passing, FRED WISEMAN's THE STORE focusing on the heyday of NEIMAN MARCUS connects the fashion dots to Texas. Meanwhile JULIA DUCOURNAU's newest mindf**k ALPHA hits you right in the temples along with a screening of her J.G. BALLARD-esque TITANE. If you need to lighten up WELCOME TO THE DOLLHOUSE and THE POINT will give you some relief.
See ya soon! - JASON
