Bob Harris (played by Bill Murray) is an American film actor, far past his prime. He visits Tokyo to appear in commercials, and he meets Charlotte (Scarlett Johannson), the young wife of a visiting photographer. Bored and weary, Bob and Charlotte make ideal if improbable travelling companions. Scarlet is looking for "her place in life," and Bob is tolerating a mediocre stateside marriage. Both separately and together, they live the experience of the American in Tokyo. Bob and Charlotte suffer both confusion and hilarity due to the cultural and language differences between themselves and the Japanese. As the relationship between Bob and Charlotte deepens, they come to the realization that their visits to Japan, and one another, must soon end. Or must they?
his/her review : Exellent movie, photography and casting. Mind you, this is not the off the shelves love story. This is not sleepless in Seatlle, its Tokio. Scarlett is not the supermodel type, but I've never seen beauty so honest, rich in faults yet so well put on screen. She doth teach the torches to burn bright. Well done, Sofia Coppolla.

his/her review : Merveilleux. Un film a tomber raide d'émotion avec un budget 100 fois moindre qu'un blockbuster. La fille Coppola est douée et Bill Murray sort loin des rôles de dingue qu'il jouait avant. L'amitié entre un homme et une femme, le thème est très bien amené.
