Written and directed by Miss Sofia Coppola, LOST IN TRANSLATION is a soft slap in the face wake up call. The human soul is discovered and massaged. Two lost souls visiting Tokyo meet and find a solace that seems to be a pathway to limited freedom. Charlotte (Scarlett Johansson) is a young neglected wife of a photographer on assignment; she crosses paths with Bob Harris (Bill Murray), a washed-up movie star shooting a commercial for Japanese TV. In a brief time, Charlotte and Bob find an odd, but fulfilling relationship in each other, far away from their mundane lives in America. A free spirit is discovered, awakened and shared. The age and cultural differences between them at times is confusing and yet funny. They know this encounter will have to end abruptly and Bob thinks about a tolerable relationship with his wife back home.
Also in the cast: Giovanni Ribisi, Catherine Lambert, Akiko Takeshita, Ryuichiro Baba and Gregory Pekar.
