If you want the perfect distillation of the Kristen Stewart aesthetic and ethos, look no further: “I like when things have space to fill. I don’t love perfected items,” she recently told Rolling Stone during the photoshoot for her new cover story. “I really like audience engagement. I love things that have internal lives — even photographs, like the one that we did today. There’s so much behind them.” (You hear that, Chris Ruffo?)
Those ideals inform so many of the books, movies, and musicians Stewart recommended to us.

The celebrated director looks back at her career, sharing the inspirations and experiences that shaped films from Lost in Translation to her forthcoming biopic, Priscilla. Words by Sofia Coppola, introduction by Kathryn Bromwich
There is a particular aesthetic that runs through Sofia Coppola’s work, whether she is turning her gauzy, feminised lens on the southern gothic of The Beguiled or urban alienation in Lost in Translation, the rococo excesses of Marie Antoinette or disaffected suburban youths in The Bling Ring. Coppola is adept at creating heady atmospheres and worlds that feel fully realised, her characters veering between emptiness, desire and repression; the frames in her films have a painterly quality, straddling the line between beauty and claustrophobia. Her singular style has influenced much of contemporary popular culture, from Lana Del Rey’s wistful music videos to Emma Cline’s novels about lonely and potentially dangerous young women.

Don DeLillo’s novel of campus larks and eco dread has long been ogled by Hollywood. Now it gets an elegant, droll treatment from Noah Baumbach, starring Adam Driver and Greta Gerwig
Noah Baumbach’s terrifically stylish movie White Noise, adapted by him from the 1985 novel by Don DeLillo, is a deadpan comedy of catastrophisation, a meditation on western prosperity and its discontents, its anxieties, its intellectual satiety.
It’s a sensuous apocalyptic reverie founded on the assumption that nothing can really go wrong – or can it? Could it be that our preoccupations with ecological disaster are not played out in the service of rational pre-emptive measures, but irrational occult fears, supernatural inoculations against death?
DeLillo’s garrulous and witty novel of ideas has been hungered after by film-makers for nearly 40 years (Emma Cline even wrote a short story called White Noise in 2020 about Harvey Weinstein hoping to reclaim respectability by making a DeLillo movie.

The former Doctor is the highlight of this oddly unambitious take on the toxic tragedy from American Psycho director Mary Harron
The subject of Charles Manson and his murderous cult killings continues to be a subjective of obsessive interest. To add to the existing mountain of pop-culture Mansonbilia, Sean Durkin’s 2011 film Martha Marcy May Marlene was inspired by Manson, and Quentin Tarantino’s forthcoming Once Upon A Time In America is set during Manson’s reign of paranoia.
Now screenwriter Guinevere Turner and director Mary Harron, usually such fierce anatomists of masculine toxicity in the movies they made together like American Psycho (2000) and The Notorious Bettie Page (2005), have taken on the same subject with Matt Smith as Manson, the creepy, pompous failed pop star and cult leader whose word is law for beaming disciples. But the result is a weirdly bland and inhibited TV movie, flatly directed and fundamentally...

A 79-page complaint was filed on Wednesday in California federal court. The subject of this lawsuit is Emma Cline's best-selling novel, The Girls, as well as the supposed movie version that is forthcoming. The plaintiffs are represented by the prominent law firm of Boies Schiller Flexner, and with talk of spyware and hacking, it's hardly the typical kind of lawsuit alleging plagiarism.

This would make a great novel, though plenty of readers might find it unbelievable. Emma Cline, author of 2016’s “The Girls,” is being sued by her ex-boyfriend, who claims that she used computer spyware to rip off his own writing to use in the bestselling book. Cline has also filed her own suit against the ex, making some choice accusations herself.

Random House took first prize this week in the annual competition for Hypiest Debut Acquisition, sealing a three-book deal — beginning with The Girls, a novel based loosely on the Manson murders — with Emma Cline, 25, for a rumored $2 million and change. The author, her agent, and her new editor declined to comment, as did Scott Rudin, who bought film rights just before the sale. But on the evidence of a handful of personal essays and two published short stories — a meditation on Greenland in Tin House and a tween girl’s scary coming of age in The Paris Review — Cline’s talent is glaringly obvious. But her life is a little opaque, at least by millennial standards: no Twitter account, no confessional blog, not even a website. She may have simply been too busy living an improbably precocious quarter-life to bother with self-promotion. Below is an ad-hoc biographical timeline, as...
