Like a good dream, Sofia Coppola's Lost in Translation envelops you with an aura of fantastic light, moody sound, head-turning love, and a feeling of déjà vu, even though you've probably never been to this neon-fused version of Tokyo. Certainly Bob Harris has not. The 50-ish actor has signed on for big money shooting whiskey ads instead of doing something good for his career or his long-distance family. Jetlagged, helplessly lost with his Japanese-speaking director, and out of sync with the metropolis, Harris (Bill Murray, never better) befriends the married but lovelorn 25-year-old Charlotte (played with heaps of poise by 18-year-old Scarlett Johansson). Even before her photographer husband all but abandons her, she is adrift like Harris but in a total entrapment of youth. How Charlotte and Bill discover they are soul mates will be cherished for years to come. Written and directed by Coppola (The Virgin Suicides), the film is far more atmospheric than plot-driven: we whiz through Tokyo parties, karaoke bars, and odd nightlife, always ending up in the impossibly posh hotel where the two are staying. The wisps of bittersweet loneliness of Bill and Charlotte are handled smartly and romantically, but unlike modern studio films, this isn't a May-November fling film. Surely and steadily, the film ends on a much-talked-about grace note, which may burn some, yet awards film lovers who "always had Paris" with another cinematic destination of the heart. --Doug Thomas

I can't believe so many people gave this a bad review. In my mind, this is the best movie ever made that exemplifies the disconnected, lonely feeling one experiences even among millions of people when undergoing an existential crisis. I still remember the cool feeling I got the first time I watched this. I felt as disconnected and hopelessly drifting as both Bill Murray and Scarlett Johanssen, and Sofia Coppola managed to link this feeling with a sense of the noble beauty of loneliness that lingers ...

All men recall a woman from their past that sticks in their mind, not as some drop dead gorgeous goddess nor as some hideous dog that made them want to retch, but simply because they were in some way, however minor, interesting. That interestingness may have been their looks, their quirks, their persona, or some indefinable `otherness'. Well, that's what the film Lost In Translation is- it's not a bad film, nor nearly as good as its reputation proclaims, but it is unlike just about any other Hollywood ... Read More

I am mainly submitting this review because of the horrible number of '1 star' reviews.
I loved this movie so much, and it means so very much to me now, years later. I can only thank Sofia for making it, and Scarlett and Bill for being so perfect.
This movie is a masterpiece that I hold near my heart.
Beautiful.

This is an outstanding film. Like plunging into the deep end of the swimming pool. Truely refreshing.

This is in fact what encouraged me to write this review, and a pleasant reality that not all people experience the intense euphoria this masterpiece leads to.
So I mention this movie to some of my friends, it's either a "best film ever" or a "most over hyped" statement. And I do know why. A matter of fact that this is not the first time I've seen such opposite opinions at the same time.
I've seen it with "Babel" and "Crash", both of which share the "unique feeling" a movie gives.
