Watching Sofia Coppola's creepy debut feature, about five sisters whose fate is spelled out in the title, I realized her common theme isn't just human loneliness, but a girl's loneliness/distance from her father: in The Virgin Suicides, Marie Antoinette, and The Bling Ring, the absence of a dependable father figure is striking; in Somewhere, she's practically searching for one; in Lost in Translation she finds one (but then loses him). Is she telling us something about her relationship with her own world-renowned father? In any case, Coppola has successfully cemented her own style, so I'll wait for her masterpiece.
PS: Thank you, Maryam! This one almost went under the radar.
