Trailer: Sofia Coppola’s Somewhere

By Eva Medoff, June 15th, 2010

While Sofia Coppola’s 2006 film Marie Antoinette was something of a “love it or hate it” experience, we were in the “totally worship it and listen to the soundtrack every day” category. That’s why it’s so momentous that the trailer for her followup, Somewhere, is finally out. This returns to more of a Lost in Translation vibe, which is fine by us. Stephen Dorff plays a melancholy bad boy actor whose life is meaningless until his adolescent daughter, played by Elle Fanning (yes, the Fannings are taking over the world) is dumped on his doorstep. The trailer is a quiet exploration of this situation, with suitably lo-fi music from Julian Casablancas and the emotional imagery that Coppola does so well. Enjoy it below—and hold your breath until December when it comes out.
