Love in the far East

Rating: 9/10 (29 January 2004)

I really enjoyed this film. It follows Bob, an American actor who's in Japan shooting an add. While there, he meets Charlotte, a young woman who's followed her husband on a photo shoot. This unlikely couple meet, have fun, are merry and in love....I think. This is a surprisingly emotional story with bouts of pure hysterics mixed in. At times, I was laughing so hard my eyes watered. Add in the wonderful look at Tokyo and the Japanese culture as seen through the eyes of two Americans and you have an amazing tour de force. Sofia Coppola has managed to create a wonderful film.
9/10 I highly recommend it!
