Beautifully Translated

Rating: 10/10 (19 January 2006)

I have seen this movie several times and it gets better with each viewing. Scarlett Johansson and Bill Murray are spectacular, along with Sofia Coppola's direction.
This movie could have fallen within two clichés; typical chick flick or typical unlikely friend duo. You do have both, but Sofia Coppola blended them both so well. Both characters give off such great energy and depth they keep you entranced. The city of Tokyo is also an important character in the movie. The city has so much personality and character. The musical scores add some mystery and unknown to the film.
Lost in Translation is inspiring and intelligent, and, lets not forget, entertaining.
