Somewhere
Nice movie by Sofia Coppola. It's great that a film in which not much happens, and where you are actually looking at a bored actor all the time, remains interesting to watch. This is mainly due to Dorff and Elle Fanning's acting, and the father/daughter relationship is at the heart of the film. Somewhere is also a real 'dramedy', with comedic and dramatic moments alternating all the time. The ending is a bit abrupt, but the idea and message behind that last scene come across well.

Charming movie. In a calm and dreamy way it manages to describe a state of intoxication - a bit like a residue of feelings of ecstasy - and the awakening from it. We follow an actor, disillusioned, hollowed out, and already past his prime, relishing the remnants of his success. Once he unexpectedly and quite suddenly has to look after his daughter, he slowly starts to see again how he should give direction to his somewhat aimless life. Nowhere does the film really excel, but the film is told so wonderfully nonchalantly, slumbering and fitting to the atmosphere that the whole is very pleasant.

The first 20 minutes consist of two integrally and statically filmed pole dance acts by twin sisters and playmates Kristina and Karissa Shannon and the confirmation that Elle Fanning is not Sjoukje Dijkstra. A routine press conference later, I decided to play the rest of the film at double speed. Even then this was barely manageable. Coppola wants to show the emptiness of the life of an actor on the return [Stephen Dorff] and share with us his bullish boredom. She succeeded brilliantly in that.

Sofia Coppola's personal cinema, in addition to being valuable and admirable, is also fascinating and endearing. I like his viewpoint on cinema. She is the daughter of the godfather of world cinema, Francis Ford Coppola, but she has not been under her father's shadow and stands in an area of cinema that her father was not in. Sofia's minimalist and personal cinema with its themes, concerns and worldview has made for her a special style in her films. The "somewhere”, she made in 2010 has a specific form in structure and content. relatively lengthful shots, fixed camera where the subject is moving in the frame and little dialogue are some of my favorite cinematographic features, which can be seen in abundance in Sofia Coppola's works. The beginning of the film in a fixed frame, where a black Ferrari car is constantly going back and forth, promises a different, fascinating and deep film, and in the final shot, which reminds me of a scene from my own short film (Saz and Khurshid). Johnny, played by Stephen Dorff, leaves the Ferrari on the side of the road and goes alone on the horizon. This is an amazing ending. The film only moves the camera when it is necessary and in line with the structure and content of the film, and this shows the awareness of the director. The film presents a paradox in the world of cinema. Johnny is a depressed, aimless, unmotivated and failed person from the inside and the reality of his life, while he is a prominent actor in the world of cinema and is glamorous.
