Dies und das:

The movie Bob and Charlotte watch together at the hotel when neither one of them can sleep is Dolce vita, La (1960) La Dolce Vita also has an end scene in which the viewer cannot hear the conversation and this conversation is also between a young woman and an older man.

Pannen:

Filmfehler: When Bob and Charlotte first see each other in the hotel elevator, a Japanese woman is seen wearing a kimono with the right flap covering the left. In Japan, this is only practiced with burial kimonos, indicating that the scene was most likely flipped.

Dialogzitate:

[first lines]
Ms. Kawasaki: Welcome to Tokyo.
Bob: Thank you very much.
Ms. Kawasaki: My name is Kawasaki. Nice to meet you.
Bob: I've heard of you. Thank you.

Sometimes the simplest stories make the best films

I went through an array of emotions and expressions watching this film; most of them centred around how bizarre I thought it was, yet it was like a good book I simply couldn't put down even if the film itself lived up to its title at times.

This is by far the best work Bill Murray has done, and it will be a pleasant surprise for many to see him find a new (to me, anyway) side to his ability as an actor. He captures the role with such precision that you don't realise this is the same guy who, dare I even mention it in the same breath, provided the voice of Garfield last year. You see a few traces of his characteristic smugness every once in a while, but by and large the Bill Murray you see is a lot more serious... and seriously damned good.

It's such a simple story... unhappy married man meets unhappy married woman in a place neither of them are familiar with, and suddenly realise that they're all the other has got at least for the time being. In an age where Hollywood is trying (mostly unsuccessfully) to scare and shock us with something new at every turn, Sofia Coppola takes what should be the premise for a typical chick flick and turns it into something that anyone who has ever experienced an emotion of any description can watch and appreciate.

A brilliant film in any language.
