In 7 words or less: Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson have conversations.Best bits? The script. Just amazing! Lots of glorious scenes set at night in an amazing hotel bar in Tokyo, all left to play out at a deliciously, dreamy, drowsy pace. It's just amazing! I think it's the pauses, there's lots of 'moments' in this film where you find yourself really thinking alongside the characters, trying to figure them out, they're incredibly interesting to watch.
One scene that really stands out is when Murray and Johansson are lying on the bed talking about marriage and kids. Feels like Murray is passing down wisdom but is still totally confused by life. Check it out.
Did it make you think thoughts? I love films predominately set at night. I think I've figured that out now. Something about a city at night that really excites me. I'm desperate to go to Tokyo!
Would you watch it again? Always.
Rating (out of 100%): 90% Stunning piece of cinema about two confused souls at totally different stages in their lives, all playing out to the stunning backdrop of Tokyo.
