Lost in Translation | Hitchens Virtual Theatre

Bob Harris (Bill Murray) and Charlotte (Scarlett Johansson) are two Americans in Tokyo. Bob is a movie star in town to shoot a whiskey commercial, while Charlotte is a young woman tagging along with her workaholic photographer husband (Giovanni Ribisi). Unable to sleep, Bob and Charlotte cross paths one night in the luxury hotel bar. This chance meeting soon becomes a surprising friendship. Charlotte and Bob venture through Tokyo, having often hilarious encounters with its citizens, and ultimately discover a new belief in life's possibilities.

Synopsis: Understated comedy/drama about a depressed American actor and the lonely young wife of a workaholic photographer who find each other amid the isolating strangeness of Tokyo. At first just killing time together in the hotel bar, they soon realize there's more to their relationship.
