"Sofia Coppola's stealthy romance about two Americans stranded in Tokyo is a work of marvelous delicacy -- and offers the performance of Bill Murray's career." - Stephanie Zacharek, SALON.COM

"Everyone wants to be found."

Oscar-nominated director Sofia Coppola's beautifully low-key, hypnotic "romantic comedy" focuses on two guests at a Tokyo hotel -- Bob (the surprisingly sympathetic, and unsurprisingly hilarious, 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.
LOST IN TRANSLATION amply displays Sofia Coppola's uniquely dreamy filmmaking style, and her minimalist script allows Murray and Johansson to give astonishingly moving yet subtle performances as two people who are lost in the limbo of a foreign country, but who find each other for comfort and companionship. Both heartbreakingly sad and hilariously funny, LOST IN TRANSLATION is the perfect romance film for people who don't really like romance films.
