Lost In Translation Review

Rating: 9/10 (31 January 2012)

Lost In Translation is probably one of the best movies I have seen in a long time. Its about a aging actor named Bob Harris, who is in Tokyo for a week doing a whiskey advertisement and going through somewhat of a mid life crises. While spending his time in Tokyo he meets a young women named Charlotte who is in Japan with her husband because he has work there but is never around. She is having trouble figuring out where she fits in life. They meet each other and start to build somewhat of a relationship while they encounter multiple awkward and hilarious situations due to the language barriers and cultural differences. My favorite thing about this movie is that there are so many parts where words aren't spoken but i found myself laughing so hard I was in tears. Bill Murray is just a hilarious actor and one of my all time favorites. Overall i believe that Lost in Translation deserves at least several viewings because it is so great.
