Sofia Coppola has always been looked at “in a different way” as the daughter of Francis Ford Coppola<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sofia Coppola has discussed the influence of her dad<\/p>\n

The 52-year-old filmmaker has directed the new movie ‘Priscilla’ – which is based on the life of Priscilla Presley<\/a>, Elvis Presley’s ex-wife – and Sofia admits that she can relate to the story, having grown up in the shadow of her dad, who directed movies such as ‘The Godfather’ and ‘Apocalypse Now’.<\/p>\n

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Sofia explained: “I was struck by how much I connected with it emotionally. I thought it was just going to be a fun adventure, and I was surprised by how relatable her story was.”<\/p>\n

The acclaimed director described her dad as a “big personality” and a “great artist”.<\/p>\n

Sofia – whose other film credits include ‘Lost in Translation’ and ‘The Virgin Suicides’ – said: “I know from my family what it\u2019s like to be inside a show business family.<\/p>\n

\n“I know that growing up, people are looking at you in a different way. And also living in a house with my dad, this big personality, a great artist and a lot of our life revolving around that. And seeing my mom\u2019s life, how she was trying to find her way within his, I could relate to that.”<\/p>\n

\nSofia’s new movie was inspired by the 1985 book ‘Elvis and Me’, and she jumped at the opportunity to direct the new film.<\/p>\n

\nThe award-winning filmmaker said: “Her story was so vivid in my mind and the visuals of that world, Memphis, the \u201960s. It\u2019s so American. And I always like themes about finding one\u2019s identity and teenage girls growing into adulthood.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
