Rating: 10/10 (10 November 2006)

This is my all time favorite movie. Its subtle and melancholic plot felt right at home with me. The beauty of the connection that the two characters formed felt timeless and immediately familiar. It is so unusual today when movies actually let their characters yearn for something while at the same time pull the audience in. Ms. Coppola's movie does just that.Bill Murray gives the best performance of his career and possibly the best of 2003. His sad buffoon is the centerpiece of the movie,while at the same time making Scarlett Johansson the breakthrough actress of the year, with a performance that feels mature and yet youthful. And the setting couldn't look more perfect: Tokyo looks positively magical, one big blur of neon lights.
