With Lost in Translation easily taking the spot for favorite movie of the year (about twenty years too late, but still) for me, I decided to give Sofia Coppola's other movies a go, in the hope of rekindling some of that love-lost magic that's so present in the Bill Murray classic. While The Virgin Suicides was a sad disappointment, I found myself more and more entranced by 2010's Somewhere. Coppola's Somewhere is the story of a 40-something actor who, despite tremendous levels of fame, has grown out of touch with life and what it truly means to enjoy it. Until, that is, his 11-year-old daughter is unceremoniously dropped on his doorstep, reminding him what he's doing it all for.
