Lost in Translation

Bob Harris is doing a Spot for Whiskey for a lot of money and Charlotte accompanies her husband, a busy photographer, in Tokio. They are from America and stay in the same Hotel and meet one night at the bar, because they can´t sleep. Charlotte is a young woman, not sure about what she wants and married for just two years. Bob is an aged man, married since 25 years and tired of life. A friendship developes and they are obviously attracted to each other, but none of them makes a step. I liked a lot the sublimal irony, the subtle humor and the tragic. The combination works together very well. It´s nice to get an everyday impression of two very different people in a foreign country, just a cutting from their lifes. Nothing particularly special but very pointed, with many views on the faces.
