Quiet and Sweet

Rating: 8/10 (26 August 2006)

Lost in Translation is a quiet movie; it still somehow had the ability to make me smile on how two different people in Japan met and became close friends.
Bill Murray, in the role of a commercial actor and Scarlett Johannson in the role of the wife of a rock star, were truly great, especially when they become depressed characters who meet and in ways make their time in Japan fun. There are many great scenes of the two together, in the bar or at a teen party.
Sophie Coppola did a well done job, getting an Oscar nomination for her direction, but the movie itself is sweet, yet quiet. A good movie, I must say.
