I'm really excited about seeing the new Sophia Coppola film "Somewhere"with my sister on Sunday. Apart from re-introducing Stephen Dorff back into the world (Sophia, I thank you) and casting the exquisite Elle Fanning (Dakotas' Sister) her films have always been truly amazing visual experiences and this is apparently no different.

Debuting on the film scene in Godfather Part III did not do Sophia any acting favours however almost 10 years later, she had developed as a director and gave us The Virgin Suicides. This film is a harrowing and beautiful and her style was definitely apparent right from the beginning. Watching this and her other titles which include Lost In Translation and Marie Antoinette, you are transported into a dreamlike state where reality seems so far away and for 2 hours you can just be lost in her world.
Lost In Translation was poignant for the time and received wonderful feedback, Maria Antoinette had mixed reviews but spawned French Revolutions chic (and had an amazing soundtrack) and though Somewhere has not had an official release yet, critics are saying Oscar!
Here is a bit of a Sophia gallery;
