One of my favorite movies. I also found it incredibly accurate, when I visited Japan.
I’m sure it was with more intensity
No joke, I was out one night in Osaka and got a little drunk. On my walk back to my hotel, some woman popped out at me on a corner and asked, “You like massage?” in a very heavy accent.
Mr. Kazu sent. Premium fantasy!
Lip them
LIP THEM? LIP THEM? WHAT?!
I stayed in the Ritz-Carlton in Akasaka and the hotel welcoming process was quite something. Door guy handed me off to a very cute hostess who politely stood next to me and handed me off to the desk clerk. The desk clerk then handed me off to another dude to show me my room.
A beautiful film – possibly my favorite. Well written, well shot, well acted, well directed. The relationship between Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson is complex, to say the least, not sexualized, and unlike any I’ve seen in another film.
Characters are layered across the board. No one is perfect, and no one is trying to be.
The way Japan is presented also feels quite accurate – the first time I stumbled around Tokyo felt very similar in terms of atmosphere.
I watched this film right after I graduated from university where I studied philosophy.
It was beautiful and timely.
Pure magic. One of my all time faves.
Lost in Scarlett
Magical and timeless film, I have to re-watch it about once a year. It’s a great comfort film.
I’m 31 and never saw it, should I ?
It’s hard to say,I mean if you’re fine watching movies from Stanley Kubrick, Martin Scorsese, David Lynch or from other similar directors (focuses on art films rather than commercial films). I think you should try watching it, the difference is that this movie is from a woman’s POV.
Thanks, I’ll try it!
Love(d) this movie. People I watched it in the cinema with back in the day thought it was boring. I thought it was amazing.
For some reason this movie never quite worked for me. It’s the exact sort of movie I usually love, and no doubt many of my favorite movies were inspired by it, but there’s something about the characters and interactions that makes it hard for me to connect. The mood of it is great though.
