You get to see life as it is. A rare thing. Treasure it.

Rating: 9/10 (5 August 2004)

If you saw the last Oscar show, you might have noticed that Bill Murray was utterly disappointed not getting an Oscar for his performance in LiT. I was too. He was brilliant.
What makes this a good movie? it's just about two people feeling out of place in a foreign country, isn't it? It's the humanity, the tiredness, the resignation, the unspoken attraction, the fun and the feeling to belong, it is what is not on screen that makes this movie work. You have to connect to the "still" of the movie in order to experience this. It is as if this movie tries to paint a still of life in a particular situation, capturing every facet of it in sometimes vibrant sometimes dull colors, depending on the facet itself.
Nothing spectacular happens, except for Bill Murray exercising, no action, no Sf/x. You get to see life as it is. A rare thing. Treasure it.
9/10
