Somewhere is a 2010 American drama film written and directed by
Sofia Coppola. The film follows Johnny Marco (played by
Stephen Dorff), a newly famous actor, as he recuperates from a minor injury at the
Chateau Marmont, a well-known
Hollywood retreat. Despite money, fame and professional success, Marco is trapped in an
existential crisis and feels little emotion during his daily life. When his ex-wife suffers an unexplained breakdown and goes away, she leaves Cleo (
Elle Fanning), their 11-year-old daughter, in his care. They spend time together and her presence helps Marco mature and accept adult responsibility. The film explores
ennui among Hollywood stars, the father–daughter relationship and offers an oblique comedy of show business, particularly Hollywood film-making and the life of a "star".
