-Bill

Sofia
Coppola's
second
feature-length
film
focuses
on
two
guests
at a
Tokyo
hotel--Bob
(Bill
Murray),
a
middle-aged
actor
in
town
to
film
whiskey
commercials,
and
Charlotte
(Scarlett
Johansson),
the
young
wife
of a
trendy
photographer
(Giovanni
Ribisi)
who
is
always
out
on a
shoot.
When
Bob
isn't
on
the
job
taking
fragmented
direction
from
the
Japanese
crew,
he's
receiving
faxes
on
home
decorating
from
his
emotionally
distant
wife.
And
while
her
husband
is
away,
Charlotte
spends
most
of
her
time
trying
to
motivate
herself
to
do
more
than
look
out
the
window
at
Tokyo's
urban
sprawl.
So
when
the
two
meet
in
the
hotel
bar,
they
strike
up
an
unusual
friendship,
one
that
provides
a
welcome
escape
from
their
boredom
and
loneliness.
With
LOST
IN
TRANSLATION,
Coppola
cements
her
reputation
as a
thoughtful
and
inventive
filmmaker.
Every
element
of
the
movie
is
pitch-perfect,
from
the
dreamy,
atmospheric
score
to
the
expertly
timed
editing
to
the
lingering
shots
of
the
characters
and
the
city.
Most
importantly,
Coppola's
minimalist
script
allows
Murray
and
Johansson
to
give
astonishingly
moving
yet
subtle
performances
as
people
who
are
lost
in
the
limbo
of a
foreign
country,
but
find
each
other
for
comfort
and
companionship.
Both
heartbreakingly
sad
and
hilariously
funny,
Coppola's
LOST
IN
TRANSLATION
is
that
rare
movie
in
which
everything
is
in
its
right
place.
