Sofia Coppola just won The Golden Lion award (Best Director) at the Venice Film Festival for her new film Somewhere. Quentin Tarantino, one of the festival judges, claimed the film was terrific. That perception is at odds from even the hometown reviews, never mind the European reviewers. The linked Variety review of the film seems to have the Stateside reviewers' pulse: respectful, but hardly euphoric. The movie will open in New York and LA over the Christmas holidays.Coppola's award was quite a change from her last Venice Film Festival appearance, in which her too-cool-for-school Marie Antoinette was booed.
