I love all of Sofia Coppola's films, and so was desperate to see Somewhere. I went to watch it on a lazy Christmas bank holiday, and I really relished it. It was typical Coppola, and why not? She has mastered the perfect bridge between art house and blockbusters. I also admire her (and maybe a little bit of jealousy) even more knowing she is Marc Jacob's muse.
Somewhere, is about a young, attractive famous actor , Johnny Marco, who can have anything he wants. His life is filming, promos, sex, parties and drink. Sounds blissfully fun, but his lifestyle leaves him feeling flat and with no purpose. When his 11 year old daughter is dropped on him unexpectedly he is left with a new perspective, and this touching story is portrayed beautifuly through Coppola's intimate directing.
