Plot

Bob Harris, a fading American film star, goes to Tokyo to film a whisky commercial, and meets Charlotte, a young married woman who is left on her own by her photographer husband. Both suffer from insomnia and loneliness, and they form a friendship in the hotel and the nightlife of the city. Sofia Coppola's 2003 film, with Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson, won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay.

Sinekatalog’s take

Sofia Coppola's quiet comedy-drama has an aging actor and a young wife connect in a Tokyo hotel. Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson play loneliness and jet lag beautifully, and the ending is a famous whisper.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
