20 great movies with practically no plot

19) Somewhere (2010)

Trending

Sofia Coppola's Somewhere is a slow exploration of fame and fatherhood. Johnny Marco is a jaded movie star wandering through his life of excesses until his 11-year-old daughter Cleo (Elle Fanning) spontaneously stays with him. Because there is no traditional plot to this film, it solely centers on Johnny's small and often mundane interactions with Cleo as they bond in their own isolation. Coppola's minimalistic style casts a light on the emptiness of celebrity life, bringing about themes of identity, connection, and quiet beauty to ordinary moments.
