17. Sofia Coppola: The White Stripes - "I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fC7PEQnjKl4 Jack White's raspy cover of Dusty Springfield's classic ballad sparked quite the outrage upon reveal back in 2003, and not entirely for the audio re-imagining. Francis Ford Coppola's daughter Sofia, one of the sharpest cinematic satirists working today, took her camera from the film set and shot the distinctly erotic video for "I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself". Coppola has lent her hand to many artists in the past including Madonna and Sonic Youth, but rarely has her output crept under the skin quite so vividly. A solid portfolio in fashion advertising and promotion sees her frame the female form in tenderly intimate ways, but a large percentage of viewers initially found The White Stripes' video to be merely exploitation. Coppola's excellent filmography includes the supreme Lost in Translation (2003) and The Bling Ring (2013).
