Somewhere The purring, or rather the growl of a motor rhythm that is being guessed laps. Power, acceleration and deceleration, captured in a single static shot, this sequence of sounds leads us into this round, three, four, five times to be tedious. Las driver is also like a child's toy. In his apartment - luxury residence in Hollywood, he alternated long moment of solitude with celebrations over-watered, hugs without love, passages, face to face with himself between the walls of these houses without souls, as extinct. It will
unexpected arrival of his daughter, a girl outgoing head on his shoulders to get out of the lethargy and boredom result. Then begins a slow rediscovery between this father, too absent and her daughter, rich child, abandoned to itself.
a recreation space, they extend at will the father and daughter will rediscover fun as two grown children, after all she does is not one, when he did to ' he never ceased to be even forced to don a costume artist who sometimes seems too large for him. After all it owes to her pretty face and certainly ease of interpretation have flown so high. For being locked in an ivory tower, and the price of success coupled with a touch of paranoia of being condemned to live cooped up in a way, the frequent fiestas leaving room for long moments when the mind seems to run dry, as sick of loneliness or boredom.
Sofia Coppola uses themes already seen particularly in "Lost in Translation " loneliness magnified by these hotels and palaces, for example if they require you to keep your room (fear of enemy territory) you cutting a reality. Here the succession before the arrival of his daughter multiple clips, sitting on a sofa, staring into space, plans that S. Coppola for the long term requires the discomfort. The luxury and comfort, ease nauseum.
Youth, and finally a little love, filial and abetting first laughs the star awakens Sleeping Beauty, the film finds its second wind. But alas, the separations are always and even more formidable!
Sofia Coppola film sign minimalist, slow, does take some planning to do, cause feelings of well-revealing light of the abysmal void where Johnny sat on her sofa leaves appear completely empty a glance almost hopeless. It will illuminate on contact with his daughter before sinking again. Loneliness ransom of success, but not glory. Here is a delicate film
it should be noted that the interpretation of the fantastic young Elle Fanning and the no-fault Stephen Dorff , he reveals the cracks in his character, on the go, little by little with great talent.
voilou, I got to see this movie on his toes (which is rare read a couple reviews before) and came out delighted. Sofia Coppola finesse explores his character, his actors and the shortcomings of those who have everything ... except maybe ... love most?

CritiKat.Com "... short of story ideas and staging, the director painfully recycles the recipe of his previous films (the evanescent blond teenage heroines, the spleen four stars the wealthy, anonymous hotels as the only benchmarks), but the charm of Lost in Translation and Marie Antoinette (who made a great debate in the drafting of Critikat its output) has disappeared to make way for a neurotic and clumsy melodrama Desperately boring and ridiculous ...
