This highly acclaimed, OscarĀ® winning independent drama marked the extraordinary sophomore effort of writer and director Sofia Coppola, who crafts a resonant, understated drama about a movie star (Bill Murray) visiting Tokyo, Japan to appear in a liquor commercial, who befriends the lonely, hotel-bound wife (Scarlett Johansson) of a traveling musician. Together, the two lost, culturally adrift, insomniac Americans become platonic soul mates, exploring the city and discovering a kindred spirit to combat their shared, broken hearted isolation.
