Somewhere

Sofia Coppola's fourth film builds on the themes of her last couple, particularly Lost in Translation. Once again, the protagonist is a celebrity suffering from ennui. Johnny Marco fins himself forced to spend time with his estranged daughter during an Italy tour, and though the two bond, this isn't enough to keep from experiencing an existential crisis.
