Starring: Scarlett Johansson, Bill Murray
Directed by: Sofia Coppola
---Spoilers included-------
In brief the plot revolves around two married people, one is young confused charlotte, played by Scarlett Johansson, and the other one is Bob Harris, played by Bill Murray, who was on short trip to Tokyo for a commercial shooting. Both are isolated not only from other people who speak English but isolated in their own marriages to some extent. Most of the he movie takes place in a rich hotel in Tokyo & on the Tokyo streets. Their common loneliness leads them to some kind of strange emotional rapport, they spends whole night on unknown Tokyo streets and one have to see the final ending on the big screen. The performances are solid, genuine and natural. Another major strength of this movie is appropriate dialogs & less dialog scenes in which actors eye contact, and body language tells lot of things. I liked the visuals - I loved seeing a bit of Tokyo. In particular the giant dinosaur display in the background scene, simply awesome. If you are looking for Bill Murray comedy, then this is not a movie for you.
