Odd Little Film

Rating: Null/10 (18 August 2004)

Apparently, this movie is about two very lonely people in Tokyo who spend a few days going to karaoke bars and dinner at exotic restaurants.
For some reason, this movie keeps the interest, in part because it is exceptionally well-acted and in part because the viewer keeps hoping this movie will have some sort of point.
The cinematography is captivating and the actors do a superior job of making a lifeless script seem almost meaningful. Scarlett Johansson and Bill Murray enjoy a fascinating on screen chemistry despite the fact that the movie has no real story line.
Basically, I'm glad I saw this movie, but I'm not sure why.
