Sofia Coppola Debuts First Documentary, An Intimate Marc Jacobs Portrait, at Venice

Early reviews question its depth despite Coppola presenting it as a personal portrait.

Overview

  • Sofia Coppola’s Marc by Sofia premiered out of competition at the Venice Film Festival, introducing her first nonfiction feature.
  • The film tracks the 12 weeks leading up to Marc Jacobs’s spring 2024 New York Fashion Week show with behind-the-scenes footage, interviews and archival material.
  • On the red carpet, Jacobs called the movie “a beautiful letter of love,” while Coppola told reporters she aimed for a small, sincere portrayal rather than marketing.
  • A review in El Periódico argues the documentary lacks rigor, citing the absence of fashion-critic or peer interviews, scant attention to Jacobs’s Louis Vuitton years and a superficial treatment of his personal life.
  • Spanish-language coverage reports the project has backing from A24, a detail not independently confirmed in the provided reports.
