It seems that the film's appeal really falls down gender lines. Women
seem to like it, guys don't. I dig it. I think Coppola is presenting
Marie as an 'it' girl - the Paris Hilton of her time. Women's lives
are made up of trivial things, there's almost a subliminal point
there. The music to The New World was interesting too, in a different
way.

I guess the movie wasn't nearly as good as the soundtrack
unfortunately. According to all reports I've heard. A friend of mine
said he only had an emotional response in the scene where they played
"Ceremony" and that really he was reacting to the song and not the
onscreen action.
I'm sure a movie with a Mills score would be cool. Unfortunately for
Mills (and us) a 'techno' score is pretty passe now -- very 1998 --
without anyone (like Mills) ever having the chance to do a proper job
of it. 'Run Lola Run' was maybe the movie that came closest in
spirit, but I wasn't crazy about most of the music.

How cool is this soundtrack with electronic, classical and New Wave.
Great to see Aphex Twin and Squarepusher on there. This is the sort
of avant garde pop project I'd really love to see Jeff Mills involved
in. Sofia Coppola has obviously been influenced by Baz Luhrmann (who
relied VERY heavily on Melbourne techno pioneer Josh Abrahams for his
electronic elements), but it's definitely a must-hear.
