Sofia Coppola Interview Re-Mix
|
By Alan Smithee | | Sofia Coppola,
like Kurosawa and Bunuel before her, definitely has two
eyes, a nose, and a mouth. And, like Resnais, Truffaut
and Lina Wertmueller, she is the daughter of her mother
and father. Either despite or because of these
handicaps or advantages Sofia was still willing to speak
to the Grunion Sucks Up and to be re-mixed up the
wazoo, about the many daunting challenges of keeping
your Lambourghini clean and not taking shits on airline
serving trays while in flight, even if you are
the "other" son of Kirk Douglas. |

Sofia Coppola |
The
Grunion Sucks Up:
So, Sofia, I understand your old man's this big ole fat
guy who drinks lotsa wine and can scarf down huge racks
of lamb at a single sitting.
Sofia Coppola: Yeah.
GSU:
So what's it like livin' with some big fat guy who's
always drunk on
his ass? Did he make you suck him off all the time?
SC:
Not since I was 12.
GSU:
Does he have to, like, turn sideways to walk through
doors an' stuff?
SC:
That only makes it worse. But that's why he had to sell
out and
make lots of money, so he could afford a big house with
extra-wide
doorways.
GSU:
Uhh, doesn't selling-out imply that you had some
integrity to begin
with?
| " What does "integrity" mean. Is
that like integration? "
|
SC:
I don't know. What does "integrity" mean? Is that like
integration? I know dad's had Denzel over to dinner
and he watches a lot of Soul Train.
GSU:
Didn't your old man make, like, a film or something
once.
SC:
Yeah, it was called "Dementia 13." There were a couple
of other
films that Marlon Brando directed, but they were so lame
he didn't want
his name on them, and since he didn't know how to spell
Smithee, dad
agreed to have his name put on as director.
GSU:
Uhh, I understand you've made a film too.
SC:
Yeah
GSU:
Shit. I wish we had more time. But tell me the name of
it after
the interview, so I can catch it when it shows up on
Cinemax at 2:00 am
in a couplea years, sandwiched in between a Shannon
Tweed and a Traci Lords flick.
