so flatly stated

This is a story about a father and daughter. Celebrity fathers lead a debauched life, wandering between public flashlights and strippers. There is a lovely 14-year-old daughter. When her mother left, she took care of her for a while. The two of them were still a little stranger to each other. They didn't know how to get along. Understand, have a tacit understanding. But after the daughter left, the father lost the center of his life and didn't know how to deal with himself, so he fell into the abyss of his former life again, and found that no one could save him, and finally he could only give up all external luggage, and on the way forward , to begin self-redemption.
This film has a quiet power, every shot seems to be passing through time, expressing the dullness of life so naturally and heavy.
At first, I didn't know who directed this film. It was so casual. After watching it, I had so many aftertastes. It turned out to be Sofia Coppola.

    Sure enough, it's all a pain in the ass. This female director's attention has always been too girly and has no future.

    I can't watch it anymore.

Somewhere quotes

  • Johnny Marco: What's that book about again?

    Cleo: It's about this girl that's in love with this guy. But he's a vampire, and his whole family's vampires. So she can't really be with him.

    Johnny Marco: Why doesn't she become one too?

    Cleo: doesn't she become one too? Cleo: Because she can't. He doesn't want to turn her into a vampire. And if she gets too close to him, he won't be able to help himself.

    Johnny Marco: Oh, man.

  • Johnny Marco: Whoa! What the fuck, dude?

    Ron the Masseur: Oh. Did they not tell you how I work?

    Johnny Marco: No.

    Ron the Masseur: I have a website that explains my technique. I feel that if my client's naked, it's just more comfortable if I meet them at the same level.

    Johnny Marco: Yeah, it's - it's not for me. Thanks, though. Why don't you just pack it up.

    Ron the Masseur: Alright.

    Ron the Masseur: [after putting his clothes back on] S'sorry about that.

    Johnny Marco: Nah, it's cool.
