Review of Lost in Translation (2003) by Chris M — 05 Jan 2013
Writer-director Sofia Coppola's magnificent comedy-drama about a struggling actor (Bill Murray) in a midlife crisis who goes to Tokyo to star in a whiskey commercial. During his spare time, he shares a special relationship with a young woman (Scarlett Johansson) who is also currently dissatisfied with her life.
Lost in Translation is a meaningful film that shows us that sometimes the most meaningful friendships are the ones that come at the most unexpected times and need very little in able for the relationship to work.
Murray was born to play this type of role, Johansson is surprisingly just as terrific, and the way that this film balances low-key humor with gentle emotion seamlessly is nothing short of outstanding.
