The TVI Take
A middle-aged actor and a young newlywed form a friendship during insomnia in Tokyo. Sofia Coppola's second feature is exceptional — the use of Tokyo as a displacement space and the relationship between Murray and Johansson are both perfectly calibrated.
Educational about Japanese culture and the specific loneliness of hotel life. Bill Murray's finest screen performance.
