I’ve added more than 160 new photos from the 67th Venice Film Festival to the gallery. Stephen, co-star Elle Fanning and Director Sofia Coppola arrived in Venice a few days ago to promote their new film “Somewhere“. The film premiered at the Festival on Friday night.

Coppola received a standing ovation at a press conference packed with hundreds of journalists following a morning press screening and just hours before the premiere gala on Friday night. First-day audiences already are comparing it with Coppola’s “Lost in Translation,” for which she won an Oscar for best original screenplay, and both films offer up her observations on fame and solitude.

“I think the movie is about his becoming a man,” Dorff said at the press conference.

“A lot of characters I’m interested in are at a transition in life,” Coppola said. “Elle’s character is something real in a world not based on real things.”

“I wanted to write a story from a man’s point of view,” she said. “When I was first writing the script, Stephen came to mind.”

Dorff praised Coppola and described making the film as “one of the most incredible experiences I’ve had. It made me really sad when it ended.”

And rave reviews are pouring in for the movie and for Dorff’s performance.
