Someday, somehow, somewhere...

this summer I want to see Sophia Coppola's new film, Somewhere.

Drawing from what she's seen herself as a child growing up in the seeming glitz and glamour of Hollywood and also from the eyes of an adult working in the industry, here we have the story of love and transitions, to put it very simply.

Relationships whether real life or fictional are always interesting. What I'm most interested to observe is the relationship between the father, played by Stephen Dorff, and his daughter, played by Elle Fanning. I want to see the sacrifices and adjustments party-hardy daddy Johnny Marco must make when his daughter, 11 year-old Cleo unexpectedly arrives and is there to stay. And then of course, in true Coppola style, there's the beautiful soundtrack to match which features tunes by Phoenix, Sebastian Tellier, Bryan Ferry plus more.

Did I mention Somewhere won the Golden Lion at the 67th Venice International Film Festival in September? If that's not going to get you to go to the cinemas, the final scene of the trailer defs is.
