So many things are wrong with this film, which gives me pain to write about it. Being a fan of Sofia Coppola film since "The Virgin Suicides" I never thought that his fourth film, premiered at Venice, was such a disappointment. Now I understand how it works, then film festivals. I first had to understand what is the process of the Oscars and still housed in my hopes for the integrity of the 5 most prestigious film festivals / popular in the world: Cannes, Berlin, Sundance, Venice and Toronto. But after watching "Somewhere" I see that the festivals are as fragile as humans are integrating their juries. Quentin Tarantino was head of the jury that awarded prizes for this room Sofia Coppola film, drama starring Stephen Dorff and less known Fanning's sister, Elle.
Coppola The main characters are again in an isolated world, in this case, out of conviction. Johnny Marco lives, without explanation, in the famous Chataeu Marmont hotel in Los Angeles, which just goes to ride in his Ferrari to chase women down Sunset Boulevard, which seems to be the only street in the city portrayed by Coppola.
Where he walks, women are offered, people greet him, he was given drugs and even leaping into it without warning her daughter, daughter does not know which takes 3 years taking ice skating lessons. His status as an actor apparently have been marginalized as a paranoia that leads you to believe that all cars on the street are paparazzi pursue him. Life is so boring that even falls asleep while having sex with a stranger, showing the empty life of an actor in Hollywood.
are so implausible and exaggerated situations sequences Coppola plans not only make no sense, if not for the first time, seem pretentious and even lacking a budget. Performances by actresses who play women who are offended by just to see Johnny, they see either unnecessary cameo Benicio del Toro in the elevator of the hotel.
That if, for the first time, I admire one of the "muses" of Sofia. Kirsten Dunst never Elegance has the Coppola film requires and Scarlett Johansson has never been able histrionic that the role of "Lost In Translation" required of her. Instead Elle Fanning, has a fresh maturity for his age, never exaggerated as her sister. Such is the lack of dimensionality of Dorff's character, Elle steals the film with her role as daughter abandoned by both parents irresponsible. Johnny Setting How deep is reduced to a scene which seems to have "bottomed out" and seeks help from his manager by phone. A documentary on the life of Robert Downey, Jr. would be much more fun and interesting.
