Sofia Coppola’s daughter made a cinematic masterpiece on TikTok

Sofia Coppola and Thomas Mars’ daughter, Romy Mars, has become an overnight star thanks to an extremely powerful TikTok. She admits that she tried to charter a helicopter but was stopped by authorities. As the video gets more chaotic, she begins to chop up ingredients for her pasta sauce. She’s also forbidden from having “public social media accounts,” apparently, but she implies that since she’s already grounded, why not break that rule too?

The now-deleted TikTok has been preserved for history on Twitter, as user @savbrads’ upload of the video went viral.

The TikTok starts off at a high point: “Make a vodka sauce pasta with me because I’m grounded, because I tried to charter a helicopter from New York to Maryland on my dad’s credit card because I wanted to have dinner with my camp friend,” she says to the camera.

She then makes an objectively perfect admission, sharing that she mixes up onions and garlic — a quick shot of her grimace-smiling and holding a chopping knife is spliced in the middle of the footage — and that she has to Google-search the difference between the two. Then she chops up the shallot.

In the TikTok, she says she isn’t supposed to have a public-facing social media account so people won’t see her as a nepo baby — this is followed by a smash cut of her holding a Grammy, which presumably belongs to her father, front man of the band Phoenix. But “TikTok is not gonna make me famous,” she assures viewers. That’s emphatically false, especially given the final 15 seconds of the video, during which she compares the cross-section of a shallot to the “inner workings of a ballsa—” (it cuts out), then points the camera at a person she says is Ari, her babysitter’s boyfriend, because “my parents are never home, so these are my replacement parents.”

She and Ari then joke that she shouldn’t refer to her “helicopter fiasco” — she should call it a fiasca, because that’s the feminine conjugation, and it’s Women’s History Month.

TikTok from start to finish is a filmic masterpiece, and a fever dream. Sofia Coppola, who has directed films such as Maximumist Cult Classics. Marie Antoinette The Bling Ring should be — dare I say it — proud. Or maybe not, since her daughter is, y’know, grounded, and also evidently not allowed to post public TikToks. And then there’s also the part where she calls out her mom for “never being home” and leaving her to be raised by her babysitter’s boyfriend (who seems lovely, it must be said).

The video, in typical TikTok style promises that there will be a second part where she actually makes the pasta sauce. This video was deleted so I doubt it will be made. However, it is possible. Doeswhen it comes to being, I will be the first to see it.
