This past May, Sofia Coppola made Cannes Film Festival history by becoming only the second woman to win the Best Director prize for "The Beguiled." The film is a gothic Civil War set potboiler based on the 1966 book by Thomas P. Cullinan and originally made into a film in 1971 by director Don Siegel and starring Clint Eastwood.
Film journalist Katherine Tulich sat down with writer/director Sofia Coppola and two of the film's stars, Kirsten Dunst and Elle Fanning, to talk about this modern day retelling with its distinctive feminist slant.
