Best Movie of 2003

Rating: 10/10 (16 December 2003)

Lost in Translation is an utterly entrancing movie that leaves you happy, sad, and amazed after a viewing, and only gets better on repeat visits. Sofia Coppola wrote, directed, and produced a marvel of a movie, and deserves all the credit in the world for its beauty, humour, and depth. Bill Murray gives a performance rivaled only by his work on Wes Anderson's Rushmore, he is utterly hilarious in the scenes on the commericial shoot, and is utterly believable as a man who can't find meaning in much of anything anymore. Scarlett Johansson matches Murray all the way, turning in a eye opening performance that should make the world at large realize what a talented young actress she is.
