SOMEWHERE (2010)
SYNOPSIS
SOMEWHERE won the Golden Lion Award for Best Picture
at the 2010 Venice International Film Festival. From
Academy Award-winning writer/director Sofia Coppola
("Lost in Translation," "The Virgin Suicides," "Marie
Antoinette"), SOMEWHERE is a witty, moving, and
empathetic look into the orbit of actor Johnny Marco
(played by Stephen Dorff). You have probably seen him in
the tabloids; Johnny is living at the legendary
Chateau Marmont hotel in Hollywood. He has a Ferrari to
drive around in, and a constant stream of girls and pills to
stay in with. Comfortably numbed, Johnny drifts along.
Then, his 11-year-old daughter Cleo (Elle Fanning) from
his failed marriage arrives unexpectedly at the Chateau.
Their encounters encourage Johnny to face up to where
he is in life and confront the question that we all must:
which path in life will you take?
Filmed entirely on location, SOMEWHERE reunites the
writer/director with "Lost in Translation" editor Sarah
Flack and production designer Anne Ross. Stacey
Battat ("Broken English") is the costume designer, and
Harris Savides ("Elephant") is the director of
photography, on SOMEWHERE. --©Focus Features
