Review Of Country Strong Movie 2010
Coppola retreads familiar territory with Somewhere, which is a smaller-scale companion piece to Antoinette and Lost in Translation: Marco is yet another wealthy, pampered and sequestered celebrity who is trapped and bored. Languidly paced with many long static shots, Somewhere is a precisely-observed, often silent portrait of a depressed movie star who sits and stares blankly at the wall, beer and meds at hand, when his publicist or manager isn't telling him where to go or what to do. Marco knows how to be a movie star, he just doesn't know how to live a life. Women constantly offer themselves to him; a barrage of angry text messages tell him what a jerk he is.
The movie opens with Marco driving fast on a race track in his black Ferrari, round and round. He's utterly empty. On the night of his birthday, he falls down drunk on the hotel stairs and winds up with his wrist in a cast. "I do my own stunts," he lamely tells his ex-wife when she drops off Clio. He falls asleep when blonde nubile twins pole-dance for him in his room. But he is captivated by his innocent daughter's graceful pirhouettes on ice skates.
When his ex-wife dumps Cleo on him for a week, Marco comes to life. The Chateau Marmont staff caters and pampers him; Cleo can call room service at the Marmont to get anything she wants, like groceries for his kitchen to cook him a meal. He loves playing fantasy dad: he plays cards and Guitar Hero with her, takes her to Milan, and en route to summer camp, hires a helicopter to play craps in Vegas. What happens after she leaves is key. Significantly, we feel for this guy, who could be utterly obnoxious, but is in a lot of pain. He's a recent movie star, still adjusting, Dorff said at the press conference; the actor admits to understanding Marco's isolation away from a movie set. These are breakthrough roles for both Dorff and Fanning.
Witty, spare and gorgeously framed, Somewhere should play well for the young smart-house set.
