Life Imitates Art Imitating Life at Cannes
19 May 2013 6:15 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Cannes Film Festival 2013 highlight? (Photo: Bérénice Bejo, Tahar Rahim in Asghar Farhadi’s The Past) So far, what’s the most memorable event at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival? Perhaps the screening of Asghar Farhadi’s Palme d’Or competitor The Past, starring The Artist‘s Bérénice Bejo (replacing Marion Cotillard) and A Prophet‘s Tahar Rahim? Variety‘s Justin Chang called Farhadi’s follow-up to his Oscar-winning A Separation "an exquisitely sculpted family melodrama in which the end of a marriage is merely the beginning of something else, an indelible tapestry of carefully engineered revelations and deeper human truths." (Scroll down to check out The Bling Ring cast Cannes 2013 photos.) Or perhaps Joel and Ethan Coen’s Inside Llewyn Davies, which impressed The Independent film critic Geoffrey Macnab with "the sure-footed way the Coens combine comedy, music and brooding film noir elements"? Or maybe the fact that Carey Mulligan had »

66th Cannes Film Festival Review - The Bling Ring (2013)
19 May 2013 3:27 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
The Bling Ring, 2013.
Written and Directed by Sofia Coppola. Starring Katie Chang, Israel Broussard, Emma Watson, Taissa Farmiga, Leslie Mann and Claire Julien.
Synopsis:
Inspired by actual events, a group of fame-obsessed teenagers use the internet to track celebrities' whereabouts in order to rob their homes.
After Sofia Coppola justly earned plaudits for The Virgin Suicides and Lost in Translation, a lot of good will remained for the less successful Marie Antoinette and, despite garnering the coveted Golden Lion in Venice, for the frankly mediocre and at times racist Somewhere. That good will may have come to an end.
The Bling Ring tells the true and sorry tale of a group of Hollywood teens eager to purloin the riches of the rich in order to live the Us dream. It all starts with young Mark (Israel Broussard) attending a high school for drop outs, where he is befriended by the »

Cannes Podcast #1: Talking 'Heli', 'Fruitvale', 'Bling Ring', 'Congress' and 'The Past'
17 May 2013 7:14 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
Welcome to the first podcast from the 2013 Cannes Film Festival where my guests are Emma and Aurellien from CinemaTeaser.com, Kevin Jagernauth from The Playlist and Mexican reviewer Silvestre Lopez Portillo joins us for the first of two parts to discuss Heli, which was recorded inside the Palais Theatre. The second part was recorded at a cafe outdoors, which ended up being a big mistake as we caught the first windy moments of a storm that was rolling in off the water, resulting in a lot of noise from the wind. If the second part is tolerable, you'll hear us discuss Jeune et Jolie, Fruitvale Station, The Bling Ring, The Past and The Congress. What I hoped to deliver with these was to give you a taste of some of the random conversations we tend to have after seeing the movies as we work out our own thoughts and take in the thoughts of others. »

17 May 2013 2:41 AM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »
Emma Watson captivated the crowds at Cannes in a shimmering monochrome gown as she arrived for the screening of The Bling Ring last night (May 16).
The 23-year-old actress looked stunning in the black-and-white Chanel dress with a sweetheart neckline and spaghetti straps as she waved and blew kisses to photographers and chatted to co-stars and director Sofia Coppola.
The star, who was joined by fellow Bling Ring stars Claire Julien, Israel Broussard and Katie Chang, also donned three thick silver ear cuffs and wore her hair back in a bun with a sleek side parting.
Watson stars as a member of a real-life Hollywood-obsessed teenage gang who robbed the homes of celebrities between 2008 and 2009 in the satirical drama directed by Coppola.
Yesterday (May 16), she was looking stylish in a cropped top and matching high-waisted skirt at the photocall for the film.
Other stars gracing the red carpet at the screening included David Hasselhoff, »
Cannes Film Festival 2013: 'The Bling Ring' review
17 May 2013 2:23 AM, PDT | CineVue | See recent CineVue news »
★★☆☆☆ Opening the Un Certain Regard section of the 66th Cannes Film Festival comes Sofia Coppola's The Bling Ring (2013), a teen crime movie/wannabe satire based on the true story of a gang of over-privileged kids (with serious entitlement issues) who burgled a succession of Hollywood celebrity abodes several years back. Marc (Israel Broussard) is the new kid at school befriended by über-popular Rebecca (Katie Chang), who has a distinct taste for taking stuff that doesn't belong to her. The pair graduate from boosting the odd misplaced handbag to stealing cars and cleaning out the homes of A-listers when they're off partying.
Over time, Mark and Rebecca assemble a rag-tag group of fashionista 'gangstas', including Nicki (British actress Emma Watson), Chloe (Claire Julien) and Sam (Taissa Farmiga); a pseudo family home-schooled on pseudo philosophy leached from the banal The Secret. Coppola - who won the Golden Lion at Venice a »

Cannes 2013: The Bling Ring First Reaction
16 May 2013 5:57 PM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
The Bling Ring had already had a smattering of clandestine screenings before its Cannes premiere last night, in the presence of its cast and director, and the advance word was lukewarm on Sofia Coppola's latest. Though low-key (as ever), it is, however, deceptively smart, and possibly one of Coppola's most complete and intelligent films, perfectly capturing the bizarre madness of modern pop culture. Nominally starring Emma Watson, it's actually an ensemble piece that features some superb performances by virtual unknowns (notably Katie Chan and Israel Broussard) and, with its shimmering cinematography, makes great use of digital video to tell a very American story. Based on a Vanity Fair story about a group of wayward teenagers, it begins with Rebecca (Chang) and Marc (Broussard) becoming friends when the latter is transferred to a new school in La. Marc slots into Rebecca's social group, which includes Emma Watson's Nicki and Claire Julien's Chloe, »
'Bling Ring' Gets Picture Perfect Opening
16 May 2013 12:33 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Cannes, France — Sofia Coppola was just 8 years old when she first came to the Cannes Film Festival. Her father, Francis Ford Coppola, was there to premiere a work-in-progress cut of a film he had spent years wrestling with: "Apocalypse Now."
"I have nice memories of Cannes," Coppola said in an interview Thursday on the roof of the Palais, the festival center. "I remember coming here as a kid and then my first movie, `Virgin Suicides,' had our first screening ever here. I feel like my career started here."
Growing up in such surroundings, one would think, would have heavily informed Coppola's latest film, "The Bling Ring," a deadpan drama about celebrity-obsessed teenagers in Los Angeles who break into the homes of Paris Hilton and other stars. But Coppola says the movie world she grew up in isn't the same as today's star-crazed culture.
"I definitely noticed that people would act different around my dad. »

'The Bling Ring' (2013) Movie Review - Cannes Film Festival
16 May 2013 8:59 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
I didn't walk into Sofia Coppola's The Bling Ring needing a message movie about today's celebrity obsessed society. We've seen that film and what more is there to say? It's an empty and vapid existence and it's plaguing our society as more and more people are familiar with who a celebrity is dating and "reality" television is dominating the airwaves. It would seem we all want to live any life other than our own, but this has been said time and time again. Yes, The Bling Ring explores this territory too, the hope is there is something that sets it apart. For me, that hope rested on the shoulders of Coppola. I hoped she would bring the same level of enthusiasm in story-telling she brought to Marie Antoinette, bending the story to her taste and personal aesthetic rather than letting the story simply tell itself. What I got was »

Cannes 2013: The girls have gone wild in 'The Bling Ring,' Sofia Coppola's most provocative film yet
16 May 2013 8:20 AM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
I’m writing my first post here at Cannes while I sit at one of my favorite side-street bistros, digging into a bowl of spaghetti carbonara, which is somehow less fattening than it would be in the U.S., because there are so many less additives in European food. That’s kind of how I feel about Sofia Coppola’s filmmaking: It’s additive-free — a series of simple and direct gazes, purged of the usual syrup and glop, though maybe I should add that it’s deceptively simple, because the way that Coppola now works is to take her refreshingly unhurried, »

The 10 Best Things Sofia Coppola and Emma Watson Said at the 'Bling Ring' Cannes Press Conference
16 May 2013 8:14 AM, PDT | Indiewire | See recent Indiewire news »
The last time Academy Award-winner Sofia Coppola hit up La Croisette to unveil a new work, 2006's "Marie Antoinette," the Hollywood royal child was met with boos. History didn't repeat itself when "The Bling Ring" kicked off the Cannes' Un Certain Regard section this morning after screening to a packed house of press. No surprise really, given that it takes a pretty straightforward approach to telling its true story of teens gone wild. Not being about one of France's most divisive historical figures also no doubt helped. Based on the Vanity Fair article "The Suspects Wore Louboutins," "The Bling Ring" stars Emma Watson (sporting an impeccable Valleyese accent and outfitted skimpy clothing that would make her Harry Potter blush), Taissa Farmiga and a string of newcomers including Israel Broussard, Katie Chang, Claire Julien and Georgia Rock, as a group of Southern California high schoolers who infamously stole close to a »

Emma Watson and The Bling Ring cast promoted their film to the Cannes Film Festival in the South of France today.

Emma, Sofia, and their crew are hardly the only stars who are promoting their new flicks at the festival.

Even More Sexy New Stills From Sofia Coppola’s ‘The Bling Ring’
7 May 2013 11:10 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
We’re all big fans of writer/director Sofia Coppola after impressing with dark, fact-based debut The Virgin Suicides. Her ascent from the disappointing actress in her father’s Godfather conclusion to Oscar-winning writer and director of Lost In Translation has made her one filmmaker we’ll always enjoy seeing what comes next. And that ‘next’ project is another true-life tale, The Bling Ring.
The film follows a group of young teens whose obsession with the celebrity culture of Los Angeles led them to commit a number of burglaries in the Hollywood Hills. They were known to track their heroes whereabouts online and to break in and steal lavish gifts while away from their glamorous mansions. The likes of Paris Hilton and Orlando Bloom were said to be victims before the gang were eventually apprehended.

Sofia Coppola is an interesting filmmaker and I wish I could say that it's because of her that I want to see The Bling Ring. However, she's just an added bonus, like "...and, it's directed by Sofia Coppola!" But, the real draw is the pretty, young creatures that inhabit it, namely Emma Watson, Taissa Farmiga, Claire Julien, and Katie Chang, who seem to embody the vapid "rich bitch" entitlement generation to a tee.

Final 'Bling Ring' Poster isn't too Impressive

A24 has premiered the following final poster to promote Sofia Coppola's The Bling Ring and it isn't exactly showing a lot of effort as a still featuring the titular group -- Emma Watson, Israel Broussard, Katie Chang, Taissa Farmiga and Claire Julien -- walking down the street is unlikely to get people interested in what else the film has to offer. Set to open the Un Certain Regard selection at this year's Cannes Film Festival and serving as the closing night film at the Seattle Film Festival, The Bling Ring will begin hitting theaters on June 14. Here's the plot: From Oscar award winning writer and director Sofia Coppola, The Bling Ring tells the story of a group of teenagers obsessed with fashion and celebrity that burglarize celebrities' homes in Los Angeles. Tracking their targets' whereabouts online, they break-in and steal their designer clothes and possessions. Reflecting on the naivete »
