in some place

A Ferrari sports car ran around in circles for more than 3 laps, and only two nostrils were left on the face covered with plasticine. The father and daughter slept by the pool loungers. They're all nearly 1 minute long shots, and someone who doesn't know it might think something is wrong, but that's Sofia Coppola.

Sofia Coppola's rhythm is always quiet, and this one is even more so, with very little dialogue and a soundtrack. This slowly brings out a mesmerizing sense of detachment and loneliness.

What is our life, and what am I, cannot be answered. We are always involuntarily coming to the place where we are now with life, and at the same time constantly complaining about our confusion. Where do we go next, continue to be involuntarily incapable, or stop and confirm the happiness that we have overlooked, somewhere.

Many people will compare Lost in translation and criticize her repetition and monotony. Unfortunately, the films are not compared, they are all individuals with independent personalities to convey unique emotions, which is also a private collection unique to Sofia Coppola.
