What Happened To The Bling Ring Thieves TV Screenplays. As a lucid snapshot of yoot in the early 21st century, it’s hard to beat.Watson first discovered an interest in performing arts at the age of 5 and during her schooling, when she demonstrated her talent and won a poetry reading competition. At one point the gang, decked out in stolen clobber, walk down the street in slow motion to Kanye West’s Power - a kind of Reservoir Airheads. But it does, for better or worse, capture something about kids today. This film might not have the durability of Lost In Translation or deliver anything approaching social critique. The film is dedicated to Coppola’s longtime cinematographer, Harris Savides, who died during the shoot (Christopher Blauvelt wrapped up), and, aptly for a film concerned with surface and show, it looks intoxicating. Chang also stands out as the gang’s full-on ringleader. Building on The Perks Of Being A Wallflower, Watson offers a pitch-perfect delivery of Valley-speak and self-delusion.
It would make a great double bill with The Social Network.Ĭoppola has long been an excellent chronicler of youth and in particular the ebb and flow of female friendships, and she draws great performances from her young cast. Few films have captured lives lived on laptops so acutely. Here the internet sets the characters free. Previous Coppola films have seen their heroines trapped by the prisons of suburbia, marriage or French court politics. Here they’re played by Google Earth, Facebook and TMZ, as the media-literate, tech-savvy Clearasil crims plan their robberies online. In most modern crime flicks the accomplices are portrayed by the likes of Anthony Mackie, Dave Franco and Jay Baruchel. Coppola’s attitude towards her antiheroes vacillates between antihero worship and sly satire (especially after they get caught). Here Coppola gets to show her filmmaking chops, each robbery getting a distinct look: the burglary of Bloom is presented as rapidly edited surveillance footage the ransacking of reality star Audrina Patridge’s home is captured in a single, elegant wide shot.

These kids are living in a land where Prada and Lohan are the new gods, and soon decide to take the keys to the kingdom.Īfter ringleader Rebecca and Marc get the thrill of theft by robbing a holidaying classmate, The Bling Ring turns from 90210 into a high-end heist movie as celebs such as Paris Hilton (who cameos and isn’t afraid to send up her persona - she is so dimwitted she leaves a key under the mat), Orlando Bloom and Megan Fox become the victims of these mean girls.

Nicki (Emma Watson), along with sister Emily (Georgia Rock) and homegirl Sam (Taissa Farmiga) are home-schooled by a New-Age mom (Leslie Mann) in lessons straight from the self-help bestseller The Secret. Diffident new kid Marc (Israel Broussard) wants his own lifestyle brand.
Wannabe fashionista Rebecca (Katie Chang) wants to go to the fashion school “where all the Hills girls went”. Coppola paints these JDs in quick, telling strokes. The Bling Ring started life as a 2010 Vanity Fair article, The Suspects Wore Louboutins, detailing the crime spree of a gang of high-school kids, fuelled by boredom, technology and a desire to be in their own E! special, who stole north of $3 million-worth of cash, designer duds and trinkets belonging to the A to D list. As such, it may be her most commercial film to date. This is Coppola on breezier form, still occasionally poetic and dreamlike but, hopped up on hip hop, a little lighter, more spirited Sofia. Sofia Coppola’s paean to celebrity worship, Facebook stalking and calling your BFFs “bitches” may continue the obsession laid out in her previous flicks - little girls lost in the trappings of privilege - but this feels different from The Virgin Suicides, Lost In Translation or Marie Antoinette. Rarely has a closing credits tune been more apt. Super-rich kids with nothing but fake friends,” sings Frank Ocean at the end of The Bling Ring.
