Lost In Translation

Four and a half stars. Highly recommended. Award-level stuff.

Bob (Bill Murray) and Charlotte (Scarlett Johansson) are two Westerners in Tokyo. Both are lonely, lost in a foreign culture, and adrift in their own lives. Through a subtle romantic friendship, they try to find out who they really are, and what they really want. It's a beautiful, meandering, funny, melancholy, and sweet film about life, love, and loneliness.
