PT Anderson... He makes a good film. Wes Anderson makes good movies. Sofia Coppola makes crap. She took a great book, Vrgin Suicides, and made a really mediocre film.... Then she "wrote" Lost In Translation and couldn't get it produced by anyone but her daddy. Vonni Ribisi is a good actor, Bill Murray is a genius... What they added to the film was the only thing that kept this movie from being laughable.
Say what you will about connections but the fact is that Sofia Coppola couldn't find ANYONE to invest in this movie and had to get her daddy to fork over the money. If she were a genius filmmaker don't you think someone else would've got behind this movie?
Exercises in cinematography... Exactly. A student film + millions of dollars from your rich dad = a feature film.
