Lost in Translation

Dir. Sofia Coppola. 2003, 101 mins. 35mm. With Bill Murray, Scarlett Johansson, Giovanni Ribisi. Coppola’s confident follow–up to The Virgin Suicides concerns the relationship between an aging movie star (Murray) and a newly married twenty–something (Johansson in her breakout performance), who meet at a lofty hotel bar in Tokyo. Deploying, for the first time, her gossamer touch for dry, observational comedy, which has complemented her uncanny feel for milieus of indolence ever since, Coppola presents a story of intergenerational almost-romance that remains as fragile, frank, and intimate as it felt in 2003.
