About this Movie
Lost in Translation
Two lost souls visiting Tokyo -- the young, neglected wife (Scarlett Johansson) of a photographer and a washed-up movie star (Bill Murray, in an Oscar-nominated role) shooting a TV commercial -- find an odd solace and pensive freedom to be real in each other's company, away from their lives in America. Writer-director Sofia Coppola's original screenplay earned an Oscar -- and gave Murray the chance to play against type.
