The Bling Ring

“Living the dream, one heist at a time.”

Marc (Israel Broussard) is a new kid at a Los Angeles school who finds an easy friend in Rebecca (Katie Chang), a classmate as hungry for celebrity as he is. Together with Nicki (Emma Watson) and a few others, they use the internet to learn when famous people are away, then walk into their houses and leave with the clothes, the jewelry, the cash. Sofia Coppola, working from a Vanity Fair article, treats wanting what famous people have as its own kind of ambition.
