There are a lot of things going for this one... Cast, Director, Location.
It's also a glimpse into the International Film / TV / Print Industry. You'll feel like you've 'joined the club' and become an 'Expat' in Japan living in a 'Hotel Colony.' It's a real 'slice of life' with regards to Tokyo... from Dining, to 'Hailing Cabs,' to the Bar / 'House Party' Scene ...the excellent Medical System there, the 'Television' they watch and 'Japanese Surfers' (more too). The Soundtrack is excellent and 'above par' for what you'd expect in a Movie... (it costs BIG to put great songs in one). Another nice touch is the nod to Japanese Culture's significance to the Film & Television Industry. "It's L.A. in Japan and a 'quite common' trip." It's a definitive explanation of 'why we like Japan.'
Bill Murray has a real triumph being in this and you understand why people like him ...it comes through. It's also a real treat to see a young Scarlett Johansson, Giovanni Ribisi and Anna Faris.
The script flows nicely but the 'name dropping' is perfect and adds dimension beyond a Writer's dreams (it's hardly ever done... or done well). You'll fall in love with Scarlet Johansen along the way and feel like you made some friends yourself following everyone on their adventures.
"Everything is great about this movie, I'm not sure if it is Sofia Coppola's first... (and I'm not going to look) ...it's just good." - Editor
