Product Description:
5,000 Miles from home, Bob Harris is facing a mid-life crisis, when these two lonely Americans cross paths in a Tokyo bar, their chance encounter sparks a series of hilarious adventures, creating an unexpected connection that might not last, but will stay with them forever.
Amazon.com:
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

Bob Harris (Bill Murray) arrives in Tokyo nursing killer jetlag and an ever-widening gulf between his personal aspirations and his professional obligations, as well as a marriage succumbing to the laws of entropy; A middle-aged actor of some repute and former stardom, he checks into a luxurious Japanese hotel and girds his loins in order to get through a three day stint starring in a Whiskey commercial for which he is being paid an obscene amount of money.
Charlotte (Scarlett Johansson) ... Read More

Does Bill Murray do any comedy? Does me wind up in bed with the co-star? Do their small touches and kisses move the film forward? Does the hype about staying another day for "the Japanese Johnny Carson" live up to its expectations? Does he leave his wife? Does she leave her husband? Does he ever drink whiskey and not iced tea? Is the Japanese comedy ever explained? No, no, no, no and no.
I got this movie because it was in the $5 bin, had Bill Murray in it, and some blind/deaf mutant put ... Read More

Pulling up this product to post my review I found myself a little shocked at the very low overall rating this film has received. 148 three-star reviews? 227 two-star reviews? 572 one-star reviews? Really? I can't help but wonder how this marvelous film can receive such little love. Sure, it has 728 five-star reviews (729 if you count mine) but the fact that it has nearly 1,000 mediocre-to-bad ratings is shocking to me, in a bad way. How could people `not get' this movie? I think that reviewer ... Read More

Reading some of these reviews is a bit enraging. The movie has a plot. It just doesn't happen to be a Michael Bay "Transformers" plot where the story moves at the speed of light, supplemented by explosions and special effects. You have to appreciate character depth and real storytelling to love this movie. It's the subtleties that make this movie brilliant (i.e. Bill Murray standing in an elevator in a hotel in Japan, towering over everyone else). If you're looking for another popcorn flick, this ...
