Oh Sophia... I feel like we have broken up. And it has got nothing todo with that guy from Phoenix either. You sucked me in with your soft cinematic touch – the subtle melancholy of The Virgin Suicides and the high-rise romance of Lost in Translation. I was yours. Totally. And then this? When I strip away a hundred different beautiful shoes, the odd well-lit shot and a good soundtrack I am left with nothing but longing. No emotional engagement, no real sense of tragedy or whiff of historical enlightenment… nothing. And so it’s over for us.
