Stunning Trailer For Sofia Coppola’s Somewhere

After treating us to the poster last week, a mood driven trailer for Sofia Coppola’s upcoming film Somewhere has been released online. The film looks great, even at this early stage I’m sure it will be a strong contender during the awards season, the cinematography looks stunning, I really dig Sophia Coppola’s visual style. It reminds me emotionally and thematically of Lost In Translation -  the strong sense of loneliness, isolation and a father figure connecting with a young woman. This trailer is a hipster’s wet dream!

Sofia Coppola’s (Lost in Translation) new film Somewhere tells the story of Johnny Marco (Stephen Dorff), “a bad-boy A-List actor stumbling through a life of excess while living at Hollywood’s legendary Chateau Marmont Hotel.  His days are a haze of drinks, girls, fast cars and fawning fans.  Cocooned in this celebrity-induced artificial world, Johnny has lost all sense of his true self.  Until, that is, his 11-year-old daughter Cleo (Elle Fanning) unexpectedly shows up and unwittingly begins to anchor him.  Johnny’s fragile connection to real life slowly revives in her presence. So when the time comes fro Cleo to leave, his sense of loss is palpable, but the gift of hope she has also brought him leads to a beautiful, poetic denouement imbued with all of Coppola’s remarkable powers to conjure mood and atmosphere.”
