LOST IN TRANSLATION

5Drifting in Tokyo: Aging movie star Bob Harris (Bill Murray) and Yale graduate Charlotte (Scarlett Johansson) strike up a friendship, which turns into an unconsummated romance, amidst loneliness and alienation in downtown Japan.

There are so many wonderful and whimsical moments in Sofia (THE VIRGIN SUICIDES) Coppola's sophomore feature film LOST IN TRANSLATION that are still etched in my memory - like the shooting of the Suntory whisky commercial ("For relaxing times..."), the hysterical Japanese harlot ("Lip my stocking"), the karaoke session (Roxy Music's More Than This) and that parting whisper everyone was talking about.
Makes you wanna just drop everything, travel to a foreign land, lose yourself, and then find yourself again.
