The Academy Award winning filmmaker who is best known for her 2003 romantic drama Lost in Translation accepts she doesnt make movies in the same way as male directors. However, Sofia insists she doesnt see this as a disadvantage. In fact, she believes her unique method of working helps her stand out from the crowd.
