Lost in Translation

Directed by: Sofia Coppola

2003 | USA | 102 minutes | R

A lonely, aging movie star named Bob Harris (Bill Murray) and a conflicted newlywed, Charlotte (Scarlett Johansson), meet in Tokyo. Bob is there to film a Japanese whiskey commercial; Charlotte is accompanying her celebrity-photographer husband. Strangers in a foreign land, the two find escape, distraction and understanding amidst the bright Tokyo lights after a chance meeting in the quiet lull of the hotel bar. They form a bond that is as unlikely as it is heartfelt and meaningful.

"Lost in Translation revels in contradictions. It's a comedy about melancholy, a romance without consummation, a travelogue that rarely hits the road." - Richard Corliss, TIME Magazine

"Lost in Translation is a fortunate encounter between a young talent on the rise and an old pro still hitting his stride." - Chris Vognar, Dallas Morning News
