I saw Lost in Translation yesterday (see reviews here). It was excellent, especially Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson as two dislocated Americans stranded in Japan. Great story and direction by Sophia Coppola. The movie had some very funny moments and also very touching ones. I really felt the two characters’ dislocation and loneliness. But on my way home I also felt a certain lightness and hope – sometimes you unexpectedly find a real connection with someone, and it makes all the difference in the world.
