KOSHi LUVS... Sophia Coppola

i concur! This Pitchfork Review pretty much sums up the way I feel about Sophia Coppola's movie soundtracks...

Marie Antoinette is a soundtrack as sovereign entity, married to the film but not dependent on it for meaning or listener enjoyment. Say what you want about Sofia Coppola the filmmaker, but Coppola the soundtrack auteur is uniquely intuitive and confidently complex (this soundtrack, like those for her previous films, is produced by Brian Reitzell, although it seems completely her own). Going into this review and coming out of it, I'd place her above even Wes Anderson and Todd Haynes in her ability to illuminate emotion with music. For her, pop songs aren't just the aural equivalent of mood lighting, but active agents of characterization.
