Ünnecessary Ümlaut

I put Sofia Coppola right up there with Wes Anderson and Scorsese in terms of making spot-on soundtrack choices. Somewhere, her latest, is set to feature a ton of Phoenix tunes.

“Plot: A hard-living Hollywood actor re-examines his life after his 11-year-old daughter surprises him with a visit.
Starring: Stephen Dorff, Elle Fanning, Michelle Monaghan and Benicio Del Toro. Release Date: December 22.”
