Subtle Brilliance

Rating: 10/10 (27 October 2003)

I absolutely loved this film. Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson are truly remarkable. They both deserve consideration come oscar time. It definitely is in my top three films of the year. Sofia Coppola proves she has the goods to become a great director. She certainly topped her satisfying debut The Virgin Suicides. She clearly isn't resting on her father's laurels. Her direction allows for wonderful character development and the tokyo setting has never looked so good. A must-see
