Lost In Translation is one of those rare movies that just blew me away. The set up of the film is not necessarily that unique (a man and a woman bored in their current marriages, and in a foreign country, meet in a bar and find some attraction to each other), but everywhere else it goes after that is all its own. Everytime it looks like it is headed towards a cliche it steers around it, which in the end makes the characters all the more real and the story all the more compelling.

Besides being a unique love story it is also a hilarious comedy of manners. From an early shot of Bill Murray riding in an elevator surrounded by Japanese men to the filming of a whiskey commercial I was laughing throughout.

If you get to the end of the movie and don't understand it go check out Roger Ebert's review at this link:

He perfectly captures what this film is all about.
