Somewhere in 35mm
Somewhere in 35mm
Oscar-winning writer-director Sofia Coppola (Lost in Translation) takes an offbeat look at the life of a movie star in this low-key, observational comedy-drama. Stephen Dorff gives an impressively naturalistic performance as actor Johnny Marco, who finds that a visit from his beloved daughter (Elle Fanning) highlights the emptiness of his existence. One of the final films completed by master cinematographer Harris Savides, Somewhere makes use of a variety of distinctive locations, from West Hollywood’s Chateau Marmont to Milan’s Hotel Principe de Savoia.
DIRECTED/WRITTEN BY: Sofia Coppola. WITH: Stephen Dorff, Elle Fanning, Chris Pontius, Laura Chiatti. 2010. 98 min. USA. Color. English, Italian. Rated R. 35mm.
