Venice Film Festival: Marc by Sofia Review
By Sofia Coppola with Marc Jacobs
Marc by Sofia, life and career of designer Marc Jacobs
Sofia Coppola portrays her friend Marc Jacobs, one of the most influential designers currently active. Born in New York in 1963, after his beginnings at Parsons and launching his brand in 1986, he captured the attention of critics and the public with his famous grunge collection for Perry Ellis (1992). From 1997 to 2014, he revolutionized Louis Vuitton by introducing ready-to-wear and collaborating with artists like Murakami and Kusama. Creator of iconic lines such as Marc by Marc Jacobs and The Marc Jacobs, he has succeeded in uniting fashion, art, and pop culture with an innovative spirit.
This is how Sofia Coppola presents him in "Marc by Sofia," screened out of competition at the Venice Film Festival. The American director chronicles the designer's career from its origins to last year's fashion show, alternating vintage footage with documentary style, successfully capturing the most important moments of his life, allowing audiences to know the man behind the artist, receiving long applause from the audience in the theater. Jacobs shared moments from his private and professional life, his anxieties and fears, while Sofia Coppola's direction makes the narrative lively and never weighed down by the documentary style.
