Directed by: Sofia Coppola
Written by: Sofia Coppola
Starring: Bill Murray, Scarlett Johannsen
Review: A beautifully filmed movie accompanied by an evocative, thoughtful musical score. This is a slow film that at times takes on a dreamy pace, creating moods. The conversations enabled me personally to relate to the characters and in a sense, the writer, as Sofia Coppola mirrors some of her own life in the script. This is a small film about humans on a human scale, a refreshing change from the epics also released at the time (which I loved too, but still, it�s nice to have something different nonetheless). The film enhances this sense of the smallness of humans because the main characters (Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson) seem so lost in a foreign place, unable to connect to their surroundings, but eventually making a human connection to one another.
