Synopsis

Sophia Coppola, ever concerned with the personal lives of the rich and famous, casts Stephen Dorff as a hard-living actor who hides out at Beverly Hills' Chateau Marmont after surviving a nasty divorce and another B movie. His fuzzy lifestyle gets cramped further by the return of his 11-year-old daughter (Elle Fanning), who accompanies him on a press tour of Italy, where more isolating hotel accommodations await. Just as the May-December romance in Lost in Translation isn't obvious or familiar, neither is the redemptive father-daughter bonding here. Like all of Sophia Coppola's films, the production design, cinematography (by Harris Savides), and soundtrack are worth the price of admission alone. The fact that "Somewhere is a quiet heartbreaker" (Variety) is just an added bonus. With Chris Pontius and Michelle Monaghan.

Sophia Coppola---USA---2010---97 mins.

This film is extremely true to itself. It never wavers from its story and is very well made. Problem is the story isn't terribly interesting and simply doesn't have enough meat to it to justify a full length movie. If only there was more space in the world of film distribution for short films! This would be a very good one. Also, I can't go without mentioning the wonderful performance of Elle Fanning. I recently saw "Ginger and Rosa" in a theater and was blown away by her acting. The NY Times reviewer called her "Streepian" - an apt description.

This was a VERY slow movie -- If the viewer is supposed to feel the emptiness and boredom of Johny Marco's pathetic life, then the movie did accomplish its goal.
