wonderful and beautiful

Rating: 8/10 (4 September 2015)

Faded movie star Bob Harris (Bill Murray) is in Tokyo to shot whiskey commercials. He's getting $2 million to endorse the whiskey. He's married for 25 years with kids. Charlotte (Scarlett Johansson) is in Tokyo with her photographer husband John (Giovanni Ribisi) of 2 years. He's constant working and she feels lost. She's a recent philosophy graduate. She finds a fellow lost soul in Bob at the hotel bar. They both have difficulty sleeping.
Sofia Coppola made a gentle beautiful movie. Scarlett is dressed down a little and she looks gorgeous. Then there is Bill Murray. He's having some fun and making little wisecracks. It's not anything terribly big. I love the hospital scene mostly because of the two Japanese women behind him. It is surprising how much of the movie is the two leads apart. They work well together.
