I think those obscure pop refs are there for a purpose. the film seems to be about acting or inhabiting anothers persona. the pop refs are often film actors or performers. In some ways this is a satire on actors. the main woman seemed pretty hollow and lived a hollow life. Conversations about coffee cups early in the film demonstrate this. When she starts to play act hte dead girl, she absorbs the girl's persona. the empty shelled woman takes on the role of another, creating a more interesting life. this may be why she could not give up the role so easily. The final scne of the girl and her coach may point to this. the coach thru his rules about the girls music and routin is him living thru her. There was also an argumetn about the control of her music. She eventually gets her pop music, empty music, by the end but only when it is granted.
I can't say I liked this movie as much as Dogtooth,but I got some things out of it. I am having trouble putting it together.
Any comments or ideas would be appreciated. There IS meaning in this film.
Dictated, but not read.
