Lost In Translation is one of the best films of 2003! Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson have the greatest screen chemistry that I've seen in a long time. The story follows two Americans in Tokyo, and how each is in some way or another feeling a little lost. It is through their unlikely friendship that they find themselves and each other. Written and Directed by Sophia Coppola, Lost is a story that has won the hearts of almost everyone that has seen it. Coppola has done an amazing job of capturing the feeling of being lost in life when you feel no one around you understands what you may be going through. Coppola is one of the best directors to come about in recent years. Murray delivers one of his finest performances; he is serene and easy to watch. His character is the type that most can relate too. Johansson is probably more deserving of all this awards attention then Murray is. I feel that she faced the bigger challenge of this movie. She had to play a young woman who is lost and doesn't know what she wants to do with her life. For anyone that has ever been there, then you know how scary that can be. She turned in a performance of few words and captures the character in a light that most actresses her age might not. With tow of the finest performances of the year, and one of the best up and coming directors, Lost In Translation is anything but that.
