Stephen Dorff’s blankness combined with Elle Fanning’s kind precision was magical. On the one hand, he’s a guy who seems to shuffle from place to place as he’s told; on the other he’s a man spectacularly lacking in substance. As he floats through life, the movie things are quite meditative and pretty, and I really liked this film.
Cost: free from library. (This was one of those movies I’ve probably borrowed five times before I finally watched it. But it was good when I did.)
Where watched: at home.

I picked this version because it was the DVD cover, but with words in English.
Thanks for clarifying the English viewing vs. the poster – I was wondering. I also like Sophia Coppela films. She does quirky and interesting in a real way!
I think you would like this film quite a bit.
Wow, Stephen Dorff and Elle Fanning. Those are two actors I never would have imagined being in the same movie! I could see how it would work. However, I am NOT a fan of Sofia Coppola so I probably won’t pick up this one.
If you are not a fan of Sofia Coppola, stay away from this movie. It’s got all the classic SC stuff.
