Sofia, more like this please!

Rating: 10/10 (6 February 2004)

This is probably the best film I have seen for sometime however I don't think it is a film that everyone would appreciate. However I find myself in the similar position of mid-life crisis and away a lot of the time at hotels in strange places so it had a greater relevance. I left the cinema extremely stirred, excited and full of anticipation for what is to come and it takes much for a film to achieve that.
There were times in the film when the audience were 'rolling in the aisles' laughing and at other moments it was so still and quiet you could have heard the faintest pin drop.
Bill Murray is not an actor with whom I have developed any form of appreciation until now. His performance was quite outstanding and I will see him in a different light from now on. During many parts of the film he communicates with the audience exquisitely but without words.

Where has Scarlett Johansson come from, and are there anymore like her wherever it was? On screen she exudes qualities that have been missing on screen for sometime.
The strongest element of this film is not the comedy lines or actions based around the language theme but the underlying translation theme between two people from different generations and backgrounds. I have never experienced sexual tension on any scale before a screen and it's that element of the film that for me made it outstanding. When you can film two people without dialogue at times and generate that kind of an impact you seriously need to make more.
Sofia, give up any plan of continuing your acting career, and bring us some more films like this ..please!
