This film by Roman Coppola is a treat from beginning to end - clever, charming, well-crafted and most definitely easy on the eyes. At its heart it's about one of my favorite subjects - how one's life creates one's art, and how art, once having been created, re-manifests in the artist's life in unforseen ways. (As a writer myself, I am fully aware of this process, which never fails to amaze me.) Roman Coppola has taken his real-life experiences (growing up in the movie biz as he has) and recycled them into something quite unique, entertaining and accomplished. Seek this one out.
