Just saw the movie "Lost in Translation" tonight. Awesome movie, very funny yet intimate between Bill Murray's and Scarlett Johannson's characters. It's about a has-been but popular actor in Japan officially to advertise some liquor but unofficially to escape from his wife, his family, his life for a few days, who meets the wife of a photographer struggling with loneliness while her husband is off taking pictures of bands. Neither can sleep, and by chance encounter in the hotel bar, they become unlikely friends despite their age differences. I'd recommend checking it out, especially if you like Murray's more recent films like "Rushmore", or if you're into Johannson's down-to-earth yet offbeat presence. |
