“My husband’s a photographer, so he’s here working. I wasn’t doing anything so I came along.”

Lost in Translation

About: With sagging fortunes fueling his midlife crisis, actor Bob Harris (Murray) arrives in Tokyo to shoot a Suntory whiskey commercial.  At the Park Tokyo Hotel, Bob meets Charlotte (Johansson), a newly married American traveling with her celebrity photographer husband (Ribisi). Inspired by director Coppola’s stay in the same hotel, the film follows Bob and Charlotte’s chance encounters and developing friendship. The hush of the hotel bar and the swirl of the city outside add the appropriate ache to their shared feelings and reflections.
