I really liked Lost In Translation and so I thought this film would be worth a watch. Somewhere is directed by Sofia Coppola and tells the story of Stephen Dorff's character, Johnny Marco, as a film star and his relationship with his eleven year old daughter Cleo, played by Elle Fanning. I was fascinated by this young actress who is in my opinion very talented. I guess acting can really run in the family.
True to Ms. Coppola's style the dialogue is sparse. The first few minutes of the film are a series of long shots of driving in a Ferrari and watching Hugh Hefner's twin ex girlfriends- do badly synchronized pole dancing scenes.
Dr. J rolled over and played on his IPhone- so clearly it is not for everyone. I liked watching the relationship between father and daughter, the shots at the famed Chateau Marmont and the lavish hotel they stay at in Italy.
Great film to enjoy (perhaps alone) on a quite evening with a glass of wine.
Have you seen Somewhere?

Thanks for the tip.
I haven't seen the movie yet but I'm hearing great things about Elle Fanning's talent. She's in Super 8 right now too!
I'll definitely check out the movie, being from LA and driving past the Chateau Marmont just about three days a week. Thanks for posting about this, I'd forgotten about it!
I haven't seen it, but I am interested. Maybe I'll read a book during the pole dancing scenes, though...
never seen it but i really like sofia coppola so i just might have to. also this elle fanning is getting quite the name for herself. sounds like she's just as talented as her humble sister.
I have seen the trailer for this and I am in two minds as to whether I see it or not!
I had not heard of this and I'm a fan of Sophia's. Just goest to show you how out of the loop I am. We'll definitely check it out.
Haven't seen it, but I am willing!
I've been wanting to see that. Is it out already? Crazy fast these days.
i haven't seen or heard of this film until now. looks like you've given me another thing to add on to my list.
I haven't seen it but it's on my list.
I saw it last week! and loved it. Every movie by Sofia Coppola is great... She is very bright, particularly to allow the spectator to put itself in the skin of her characters.
I really liked it myself. Love Stephen Dorff and Elle Fanning is wonderful :)
oooh! want to check this one out, thanks!
