I guess that Lost in Translation is probably the best movie ever

Rating: 10/10 (17 August 2006)

This film surprised me, and it obviously surprised quite a number of people. Some liked it, some didn't. I love it. It's this certain tenderness with which every single movement in this movie is choreographed. And at the same time, it's not one of those art-movies which you don't understand unless you have studied Literary Sciences or Arts for at least four years. It's a simple movie about attraction, love (I guess), and life. Bill Murray proves how great he is as an actor. It's odd to see him make fun of himself in a way by playing an actor in his mid-life crisis. Scarlett Johansson is wonderful. Her voice, her smile, and her very special beauty give this film yet another aspect to make it one of the very best (if not the best) movies that I have ever seen. And in addition to that: It contains the most beautiful love scene ever - on the hotel bed just before they fall asleep - his hand.
