Her new film, "Lost Somewhere," which won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival last year, isn't as well-received as her 2003 film "Lost in Translation." Many people think it is too boring, too long, and has no content.
I have always felt that Sofia Coppola's films are very Wong Kar-wai style. Her films convey a mood, not a story. So her movies always collect all kinds of music, always talk and talk about a simple thing, and pull you into her emotional world little by little.
The story of "Lost Somewhere" is not special, it's about the father-daughter relationship, about the little girl's redemption of the old man. Sure enough, it was boring as always, waiting and waiting as always and nothing happened. Long shots, racing back to the same place again and again, endless pole dancing, chaotic Party, the hero's tired and numb expression. An actor with a prosperous career and invincible charisma (please refer to Andy Lau, Tony Leung, Brad Pitt in previous years), he drives a luxury car and stays in a luxury hotel every day, and beautiful women line up with their breasts to send to the door, but he is tired of it. lost, lost, depressed. At this time, he had to take care of his 11-year-old daughter for his ex-wife for a while. I just watched two splendid pole dances, and then watched her daughter's figure skating. She was also wearing a miniskirt, but she was so pure and flawless, sexy and elegant, it was sexy without any evil thoughts. Her small body made those dangling big breasts pale in comparison.
He had to hide his dissolute life and spend the summer with a little girl: playing table tennis, playing poker, cooking, chatting, swimming, watching TV, eating ice cream, arranging camping, reading Twilight, tanning The sun... an hour passed like this, and when my patience was about to reach its limit, I was entangled in whether to turn off the DVD player, and suddenly, I was hit by the girl's shy and innocent smile. Yeah, what happened to the adults? When did I lose the simplicity, transparency, happiness and warmth of the eleven-year-old.
Impressed by Sofia Coppola again. Indeed, the plot of the film is simple, the mood is simple, and the meaning is simple. However, there is a heart-warming warmth.
The movie looks a lot like Lost in Translation, it's all about the actors' private lives, it's all about a luxury hotel, it's all about old men and little women, and it's all about a strange country that speaks a different language. However, the two slices have different cores. Sofia Coppola had just ended her marriage to director Spike Jones when she was filming Lost in Translation in 2003. When filming "Somewhere" 7 years later, she had already had two children with her boyfriend, Phoenix singer Thomas. The film's theme song "Love Like the Sunset" was also produced by the Phoenix Band. As a mother, her mood was completely different. "Lost in Translation" is about two lost people warming each other up. And in "Lost Somewhere", she seems to have found the exit from loneliness and loss - love and affection.
Love is like the sunset, the end of our journey.
