The Beguiled

The Beguiled (2017)

Everything that Sofia Coppola makes has a touch of beauty, and nostalgia.  She makes quiet films.  Films that require an audience to observe and listen.  To absorb.

While watching The Beguiled, I was reminded of her first film, The Virgin Suicides, and how in tune she was with that world.  The mind of a young girl.  The loneliness of those characters.  And it was in watching both films, that I began to realize how few could understand and see into that world, as well as she.

And what a gift it is, that we also can peer through that lens.
