Marc by Sofia
Directed by Sofia Coppola · Marc Jacobs, Sofia Coppola

“Sofia Coppola made a documentary about Marc Jacobs that is really about Sofia Coppola watching Marc Jacobs.”
Marc by Sofia is beautifully shot, languidly paced, and dripping with access. Marc Jacobs is genuinely fascinating.
The film works best when it stops trying to be profound and just observes. Jacobs preparing for a show is electric.
As fashion documentaries go, this is a cut above. The final act vulnerability is genuinely moving.
