Keanu Reeves Discussed Working With Sofia Coppola After Their Split On A Special 100-Year Tribute Film
I need a drink. Keanu Reeves reunited with his ex-girlfriend on a new project, and it’s blowing my mind.
Suntory Holdings LimitedFor context, Sofia and Keanu dated back in the early ’90s after meeting on the set of her father’s, Francis Ford Coppola, 1992 film Bram Stoker’s Dacula, according to a People exclusive.

As for Keanu’s connection to the brand, he starred in a dated Suntory ad in 1990. It featured a young Keanu helplessly staring into the darkness, enamored by a mysterious woman who is actually just a bottle of Suntory Reserve. It’s ridiculously accurate of ’90s visual storytelling.
Suntory Holdings LimitedWhen asked about what it was like working with Sofia, Keanu told People it was an easy yes. “It was,” he said. “It was cool [to get] a chance to work with Sofia Coppola and to work with [her brother] Roman Coppola on a kind of short commercial and then a docu-series. It was a really special opportunity.”
Courtesy Everett Collection / Everett Collection / Everett CollectionThe Matrix actor has long-held a passion for Japanese culture, telling Total Film in February, “Japanese anime and Japanese filmmaking have definitely been something I’ve loved and have been influenced by.” So, of course, he had nothing but great things to say about filming the tribute in Japan under the artistic direction of Sofia.
Universal / ©Universal/Courtesy Everett Collection“It was wonderful, really wonderful. It was extraordinary to have the opportunity to spend time with people from Suntory, in terms of going to the founding distillery Yamazaki, then going and just meeting master blenders and all the craftspeople.”
Universal / ©Universal/Courtesy Everett Collection“I got to meet some of the artisans, Kabuki actors, calligraphists, being an outsider and getting to spend time with people and talk about their passion and their craft,” he said.
