Our take

Many greeted Sofia Coppola’s provocatively anachronistic follow-up to her Lost in Translation success with bafflement. With time, both the audacity of her pink, punk period piece and her compassionate evocation of a woman under extreme circumstances has proven at once riotous, charming and enduring.
