Sofia Coppola’s new film is called Somewhere , but its location is specific: the present-day, alienating Los Angeles. Stephen Dorff stars as Johnny Marco, an action star whose boozy, despondent life brightens when his 11-year-old daughter Cleo (Elle Fanning) accompanies him abroad on a press tour for his insipid blockbuster Berlin Agenda . While Cleo’s sunny optimism reinvigorates Johnny, it also confronts him with how joyless — or is it worthless? — he feels without her. Somewhere proves that with spiritual awakening comes damning reflection, and Coppola again exhibits her knack for weary characters who discover their sensitivities are firmly intact. Movieline caught up with Coppola (who directed, wrote, and produced the film) and her two stars for an in-depth look at Somewhere ‘s characters, conflicts, and hilarious — and in one case, real — moments of Hollywood insanity.
