From KCRW Santa Monica and KCRW.com, it's The Treatment.

Welcome to The Treatment. I'm Elvis Mitchell.

Since 1999, her first movie The Virgin Suicides is now old enough to be able to drink in most Western countries.

My guest, writer Sophia Coppola, and director, Sophia Coppola, has been gracious enough to consent to do this show to talk about her work.

And her newest piece of work is On the Rocks, which stars Rashida Jones and Bill Murray.

Sophia, is always so great to have you back.

Thanks, always.

I'm happy to join you.

First of all, let's talk about the title.

Where does that come from?

Thinking of what the title, what would encapsulate the feeling.

And the beginning of the story was the idea of a father and daughter having martinis and discussing

relationship and then women from two different perspectives and um and also the main character's

feeling wobbly in her relationships so it just came up with on the rocks as something to

it was like what a title has more than one meaning, so that's the origin.

Because also, it's also kind of an old world title, too. It doesn't seem quite contemporary.

I mean, that turn of phrase, I mean to say. Oh, yeah, because Bill's character, Felix, is an

old world gentleman, so I wanted to kind of be in the mood of his world

and yeah thinking of men of Felix's character his era and kind of a bygone era and these kind of

uptown bars like Bamelmans and the only shoot that we had fun shooting it and we were talking about,

oh, we have to continue the series because it was kind of inspired by the idea of like the

thin man movies, which I love.
