No movie ever grasped the feeling of being lost, isolated, yet not entirely alone in a foreign city and land like this one. The same can be said about the theme of growing friendship, maybe even romance. This film shows it perfectly without losing too many words. It's Murray and Johansson's faces that make this film, their reaction to this strange world around them and to each other as they get to know each other. There are a few precious pieces of Murray's unique comedic talent, but you can also see behind the mask and find the sadness of the clown. Even Anna Faris is hilarious as bimbo actress here. The music and cinematography make it all perfect. Too bad Coppola didn't dare to use a few more of the fine deleted scenes, because the movie feels a bit short. The ending, although open, is not without hope and satisfaction. Wonderful.

Bob Harris is a middle-aged actor in Tokyo Japan endorsing a brand of Whiskey. Charlotte is a 24 year old graduate in Tokyo with her photographer husband. The two meet whilst staying in the same hotel, and over the course of a week develop a strangely unique and wonderful friendship. A quiet and contemplative picture 'Lost In Translation' is not going to appeal to everybody, but if you're patient, emotionally sedated and calm, it'll no doubt entertain you. Its odd mix of culture, misunderstanding and that mind-numbing feeling of being totally lost leads to a thought-provoking and relatively original plot premise. Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson are what really make the film worth watching. Whether they are on screen together or separately, speaking or in silence, they just seem to constantly be communicating with both each others characters and the audience. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and that is what seems to be the case with this film. Johansson can say absolutely everything with just one tear or sigh, and Murray can do the same with just a shrug or a flick of the eyes. Sofia Coppola's simplistic direction and quality choice of music make the film quite a unique and interesting experience. If you're looking for something to calm you after an evening of insomnia, this might just do the trick. Mesmerisingly calm.
