![]() ![]() But I’ve noticed that these same writers have a knack for crediting said music video-ness to Coppola’s soundtracks rather than Coppola herself. Writers sometimes invoke MTV while discussing Coppola’s work, or else speak to a sort of music video-ness that defines her features. How her most recent two features, The Beguiled and On the Rocks, are arguably her least musical, defined more by cacophony-distant cannon fire threatening an otherwise tranquil silence, the noise in one’s head upstaging that of the big city-than melody. As has her adjacency to the music industry itself-the famous friends and collaborators, the marriage to the guy who made this, the marriage to the guy who made this. The needle drops in Coppola’s narrative work, from Lick the Star through A Very Murray Christmas, have been waded into at length by writers like me. But understanding where that feeling is coming from, being able to articulate it-this is something else, something a lot thornier. In some respects, Coppola and I are both in the business of presenting music that makes us feel something to others, ideally so that they feel the same thing. “It’s very abstract to me.” I deeply relate to this sentiment, and am not sure what that says about me given that I write rather often about music, and professionally at that. ![]() “I love music, but I don’t really know how to talk about it,” Sofia Coppola said in 2004.

After retrieving the magical Tarlaeth and ensuring those who seek to use it remain in exile, the fierce warrior Shalmar returns to a celebration of victory. Overall, I didn't feel like the characters were developed enough at the start of the story or were engaging enough for me to care about what they went through. When revelations from the past come back to haunt her, Shalmar discovers there’s more to her than she ever could have imagined. There was also some head hopping between sentences and that just got on my nerves because it is unsettling. There was very little emotional involvement, and when emotion was brought up we were told about it rather than shown. The narrative read like a series of events the characters had to methodically work their way through rather than the story feeling like it was evolving organically around the characters. ![]() I did not form an attachment to these characters at all. That would have served the dual purpose of helping us to understand the world, but also to show us more of the character's personalities so they were not so flat. There was a lot of stuff that could probably have been worked into dialogue between the two main characters. ![]() It felt like the author wanted to squeeze all of the world they had built into the 179 pages, which is really short for this genre.
