The inward-looking world of these young women is suddenly disrupted by the arrival of a wounded Union army soldier, played by Colin Farrell.
Though the 1971 film focused on the soldier, Coppola will shift the narrative to the women and their relationships with each other and with the man who threatens to disrupt their harmony.
It’s always a big deal when a new Sofia Coppola film is about to hit screens – a fact firmly established early on in the director’s career thanks to the likes of Lost in Translation and The Virgin Suicides.
