Somewhere

For whatever reasons, I never understood Lost in Translation when I watched it in my cousin's basement one low-key night during a Christmas break. But I think my intrigue for Sofia Coppola's new movie Somewhere, due in December, is a good sign that I might like it better. It seems to have kept the qualities I did like in Lost in Translation and exchanged the storyline of two strangers abroad for a slightly more relatable, family-centric storyline. Understated, layered, and subtle: typical Sofia Coppola. Also, I do love me some Phoenix.

  1. Lost in Translation made me want to go to Japan, OH WAIT WE ARE! I also was reading some website about top hotels in the world and that hotel in the movie was listed as one of them.
