@gq “Coppola is also interested in the idea of mystery: harnessing it and, most effectively, cultivating it. It’s an attitude that also goes a long way toward explaining why he’s making Dogme 95-inspired experimental shorts rather than, say, TikToks. Coppola doesn’t like to reveal too much of himself, in matters large and small. When I ask him where his dark wraparound sunglasses are from, he says he can’t remember—but adds that he has four pairs. The inspiration behind the prince in Ode To Joy? ‘I don’t want to give away all of the people I was thinking of.’” “Ode to Joy” (Part One) of ‘The Danish Trilogy’ out now. Words by @samuelhine
