About this product: Like a good dream, Sofia Coppola's Lost in Translation envelops you with an aura of fantastic light, moody sound, head-turning love, and a feeling of déjà vu, even though you've probably never been to this neon-fused version of Tokyo. Certainly Bob Harris has not. The 50-ish actor has signed on for big money shooting whiskey ads instead of doing something good for his career or his long-distance family. Jetlagged, helplessly lost with his Japanese-speaking director, and out of sync with the metropolis, Harris (Bill Murray, never better) befriends the married but lovelorn 25-year-old Charlotte (played with heaps of poise by 18-year-old Scarlett Johansson). Even before her photographer husband all but abandons her, she is adrift like Harris but in a total entrapment of youth. How Charlotte and Bill discover they are soul mates will be cherished for years to come. Written and directed by Coppola (The Virgin Suicides), the film is far more atmospheric than plot-driven: we whiz through Tokyo parties, karaoke bars, and odd nightlife, always ending up in the impossibly posh hotel where the two are staying. The wisps of bittersweet loneliness of Bill and Charlotte are handled smartly and romantically, but unlike modern studio films, this isn't a May-November fling film. Surely and steadily, the film ends on a much-talked-about grace note, which may burn some, yet awards film lovers who "always had Paris" with another cinematic destination of the heart. --Doug Thomas

About this product: Reading some of these reviews is a bit enraging. The movie has a plot. It just doesn't happen to be a Michael Bay "Transformers" plot where the story moves at the speed of light, supplemented by explosions and special effects. You have to appreciate character depth and real storytelling to love this movie. It's the subtleties that make this movie brilliant (i.e. Bill Murray standing in an elevator in a hotel in Japan, towering over everyone else). If you're looking for another popcorn flick, this is not it. This is a beautiful movie about two people, thrust into worlds they don't fully understand (both Japan and their personal lives), who form an unlikely, yet special bond. It's well worth giving a shot.
