Hollywood, Los Angeles. A hírnév megszállottjainak városa. Itt mindenki ki akar tűnni, és ha nem jön össze a színészi sztárság, majd a bűn elvégzi a melót. A megtörtént eseményeken alapuló sztoriban egy tinédzserekből álló csapat tagjai – akiket teljesen elbűvöl a hollywoodi sztárok fényűző élete – úgy próbálják magukévá tenni az amerikai álmot, hogy az interneten lenyomozzák különböző sztárok lakcímeit, majd betörnek házaikba, és értékes ingóságaikkal együtt távoznak. A fiatalok több mint három millió dollár értékben tulajdonítottak el luxustárgyakat, áldozataik között pedig olyan nevekkel találkozhatunk, mint Paris Hilton, Orlando Bloom, Lindsay Lohan, Paul Oakenfold vagy Rachel Bilson. A Bling Ring néven elhíresült rablócsapat története remek tükörképe a mai hírnév- és luxus-hajhászó fiatalság naivitásának. A brahiból bűnöző banda tagjainak esetén keresztül feltárulnak előttünk azok a kísértések, melyeknek kevés tinédzser tudna ellenállni: ami először jópofa balhénak tűnik, könnyedén eldurvulhat, így kapunk végül egy kijózanító betekintést a mai modern kultúrába.

A film based on an article, directed and written by Sofia Coppola. I was a little afraid because the famous daughter of a famous director legend has been losing a bit lately, but personally, this movie made an impression on me. The camera is interesting, sometimes even too innovative, telling us a story about how cool it is to be in a celebrity's house and steal a little. The film excellently shows how we are all scoundrels, at any age. Friendship? What the hell is that?! Emma Watson is well on her way to an interesting career.

If Sofia Coppola hadn't fallen into the trap with just the magazine article premise, her journey through glamour could have glided even more smoothly. But no matter how meticulously the robberies are depicted, sometimes up close, sometimes from a distance, once in slow motion and then in shorthand, it's simply a loop of events. Indeed, it wasn't until the end that I realized that, in terms of plot, The Bling Ring is actually quite boring. Coppola intoxicates us audiovisually, thanks to the energetic soundtrack and the superb actors, where an unknown Israel Broussard surprisingly matches the triumphant Emma Watson. I actually regret the enthusiastic 70% rating. It's an art to provoke the viewer with the stupidity of the main characters, the naivety of their idols, or the stupidity of their family's "motivational" speeches, and still come across so likably.

Sofia Coppola made her own Clip. But while the Serbian youth are dealing with their hormones through over-sexualized entertainment, Serbian pop, Facebook, and leaving the path to interpersonal relationships pretty much upside down, the American youth are "only" consumed by celebrity. They also party and share photos on Facebook, but their love is mostly platonic and the excitement is without self-abasement and the drugs are somehow less of an issue. What they are enjoying like a trip are fashion brands and breaking into the homes of celebrities who have such brands to spare. So why not make it a little easier for them, right? It all maps quite nicely the inverted values and humiliation of stars into rebellious celebrities who brainwash the youth. And as a bonus, there's a cameo by Sophie's muse Kirsten Dunst.

You can't deny Sofia Coppola's polished style, because all the dynamic "party" cuts are simply awesome. The whole narrative also works great as a one-sided account of America's golden youth, who are irrationally fascinated by the lives of Hollywood stars and are not reluctant to cross virtually any boundaries. The first "party hour" is well-paced and quite suspenseful at some points. The problem I had was with the last act, when I didn't really care much about how the individual characters would end up. It was too short for any deeper character exploration, on the other hand I'm not entirely sure I would have enjoyed it anyway at two hours or more. It's fine for one viewing, though.
