Billy Murray's performance in Lost in Translation is worth the price of admission alone, and Scarlett Johansson proves to be just as good as ever.
The movie suffers a bit at the beginning from getting most of its jokes from the typical fish-out-of-water scenario, while you could argue that a large portion of it is just one long commercial for Tokyo.
Still the cinematography is fantastic, Sophia Coppola's (thankfully she's left acting behind since her woeful turn in The Godfather Part III) direction is sublime, and the chemistry between the two leads will make you tingle. Highly recommended, but only if you don't mind slow-moving movies.
