Interesting: Soundtrack for Sofia Coppola's "Somewhere"

From IFC News:
The soundtrack details for Sofia Coppola's new film "Somewhere" are out and they're as stylish and good looking as the film's stars, Stephen Dorff and Elle Fanning. The decadent helpings of cool include, The Police, T. Rex, Bryan Ferry, and The Strokes. Gwen Stefani, doesn't seem to fit with that list but her song "Cool" is actually listed twice on the soundtrack. Maybe there is a father-daughter sing along rock band version?

Coppola favorites, the French band Phoenix, play the most key role appearing on the soundtrack with a two-parter as well as contributing to the score along with composer William Storkson who also helped out on "Lost in Translation."

About the film:

From what I gleaned there with my rudimentary Italian (and the trailer below) the film follows bad boy actor Johnny Mark, played by Dorff who's living at "the legendary Chateau Marmont" in Hollywood in a "continuous flow of girls and lozenges." His chill way of life is interrupted one day when his 11 year-old daughter Cleo shows up, played by Fanning. Charming and disarming existential reflections follow.

"Love Like a Sunset Part I" - Phoenix
