In “The Buccaneers,” Mabel (Josie Totah) is torn between a marriage of convenience, to a man, and a romance of passion, with her friend Conchita’s new sister-in-law (Mia Threapleton).

Now Coppola is releasing “Archive,” an anthology of rare behind-the-scenes images and ephemera collected during the making of her movies. Coppola writes in "Archive," that the cast "spent days in night clubs and in Paris Hilton’s closet surrounded by her shoes." Coppola writes, "I love that Elle is really the same person as the girl I met when she was eleven on 'Somewhere'" — Fanning's first film with Coppola in 2010.
