Lost in Translation(2003)


Director : Sofia Coppola
Writer : Sofia Coppola
Cast :Charlotte(Scarlett Johansson) , Bob Harris(Bill Murray) , John(Giovanni Ribisi)

I think this is the second best performance of Scarlett johanson after 'The Girl with Pearl Earring'.Charlotte(Scarlett johanson),coming with her husband who is a photographer to Tokyo, fells herself so alone in this strange city.Bob(Bill Murray) a middle aged actor shares the same feelings about the city.Their lives cross and there rise a strange love. Sofia Coppola tells being a stranger with a really strange city or country OR the alienation of man to his own life so well..
A fluent , enjoyable and lovely film.Try to watch it:)
