From Oscar-winning writer and
director Sofia Coppola (Lost in Translation),
The Bling Ring tells the
story of a group of teenagers who burglarize celebrities’ homes in Los Angeles.
Tracking their targets’ whereabouts online, they break in and steal their
designer clothes and possessions. Through the Bling Ring members’ eyes, we see
temptations that almost any teenager would feel—what starts out as teenage fun
spins out of control and leaves us with a sobering view of today’s culture of
celebrity and luxury brand obsession. Inspired by actual events, The Bling Ring stars Emma Watson
alongside new talent Israel Broussard, Katie Chang, Claire Julien and Taissa
Farmiga. Based on the Vanity Fair
article “The Suspects Wore Louboutins” by Nancy Jo Sales, the film also
features Leslie Mann, Gavin Rossdale, and real-life Bling Ring victim, Paris Hilton. Directed
by Sofia Coppola | Starring Emma Watson, Claire Julien, Israel Broussard,
Taissa Farmiga | 1 hr 27 mins | rated R.
