Directed by Sofia Coppola • 2010 • France, Italy, United States
Starring Stephen Dorff, Elle Fanning, Chris Pontius
Winner of the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival and in many ways a spiritual successor to director Sofia Coppola’s art-house sensation LOST IN TRANSLATION, this majestically melancholy cinematic tone poem explores the prison of fame through a portrait of Johnny Marco (Stephen Dorff), a bad-boy Hollywood star whose lifestyle of sex, drugs, and parties at LA’s legendary Chateau Marmont Hotel has begun to leave him feeling increasingly empty. When his eleven-year-old daughter Cleo (Elle Fanning) is unexpectedly left in his care, Johnny must confront the spiritual void of his hedonistic existence.
