Venice Film Festival 2010 winner, from fantastic writer/director Sofia Coppola (Lost in Translation, Marie Antoinette). A small-scale story set in Los Angeles about Johnny (Stephen Dorff, Public Enemies), a hard-living Hollywood actor stumbling through a life of excess, living it up at the infamous Chateau Marmont Hotel. With an unexpected visit from his 11-year-old daughter (Elle Fanning, Dakota Fanning's sister), Johnny is forced to reevaluate.
Also stars Benicio Del Toro, Michelle Monaghan, Robert Schwartzman (Jason Schwartzman's brother) and music by French band, Phoenix.

Coppola stays close to the details and innuendoes of the story, making every shot count. With lots of fixed-frame shots and occasionally playing out scenes in real time, the film has a relaxed indie rhythm and laid-back style that mimics the way young Hollywood actor Johnny Marco (Stephen Dorff) coasts through life.
