MARC BY SOFIA
Sofia Coppola’s
documentary film debut is an intimate portrait of American designer Marc Jacobs, her close friend of 30
years. Largely eschewing biographical framing and talking heads, Coppola
instead crafts a vivid account of Jacobs’s culture-defining creative world.
Loosely anchored by the production of his 2024 spring collection, which the film
follows from inception to runway show, Marc by Sofia interweaves
archival footage, candid interviews, and creative influences from across
Jacobs’s body of work. Part time capsule, part mood board, the film evokes the
designer’s inimitable student days at Parsons, his legendary grunge collection
for Perry Ellis, his storied eponymous brand and boundary-pushing at Louis
Vuitton, all the way to his present outlook—all with the genial ease befitting
an iconic friendship. (USA, 2026, 87
