| Summary |
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 naiveté of youth and the mistakes we all make when young, amplified by today's culture of celebrity and luxury brand obsession, we see through the members of the Bling Ring. Their temptations are no different than those almost any teenager would have. What starts out as teenage fun spins out of control and leaves us with a sobering view of our culture today. THE BLING RING stars Emma Watson and also features Leslie Mann, Gavin Rossdale, and real-life Bling Ring victim, Paris Hilton. Nominated for the prestigious Un Certain Regard award at the **Cannes Film Festival** *"Acerbically witty and arresting." - **Entertainment Weekly*** *"Brilliant. Highly addictive." - **Salon.com*** |
