Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAfter she had written the script, Sofia Coppola was heartbroken to discover that another company was already producing an adaptation of the book themselves. However, they were not happy with their script, so she showed them hers and they ended up using it instead.
- GoofsThe father refers to his model airplane as a B model North American P-51 Mustang in British service, however, the model aircraft is actually a Curtiss P-40 Warhawk.
- Quotes
Narrator: [Narration] In the end we had pieces of the puzzle, but no matter how we put them together, gaps remained. Oddly shaped emptiness mapped by what surrounded them, like countries we couldn't name. What lingered after them was not life, but the most trivial list of mundane facts. A clock ticking on the wall, a room dim at noon, the *outrageousness* of a human being thinking only of herself.
- Crazy creditsWhen the title appears, it first appears like a schoolgirl's idle writing, replete with hearts replacing the "dots" over the "i's". The title then repeats over and over, in different modes of print and script (the handwriting equivalent of different typefaces and fonts), filling the screen. It is accompanied by various decorative doodling (an eye with tears, a caterpillar, clouds, unicorns, a flower, the sun).
- Alternate versionsReleased in two versions, the general, worldwide theatrical release and an edited cut for television viewing in Germany. Runtimes are, respectively, "1h 37m (97 min)" (theatrical release) and "1h 30m (90 min) (TV) (Germany)".
