20 Weeks To Oscar: The first “complicated” film out of the gate. It seemed unstoppable coming out of Toronto, but then Mystic River became the flavor of the week.

Review: The good and bad news is that the second film by Sofia Coppola eschews the obvious. It evolves into something quite different and unique. It's about drifting through a moment and, in this instance, meeting a kindred spirit, equally at sea but younger and more resilient.

Pride Unprejudiced: A movie like Sofia Coppola's Lost in Translation resists explanation, its magical, melancholy moods a a triumph of image, music and performance, with plot and suspense a distant, superfluous concern.

The Hot Button: This isn’t your conventional story movie. This tale of two married people who come together in their loneliness and remember themselves together is as delicate as a dandelion but as thick and juicy as a filet mignon. Coppola understands that some questions are better left unanswered.

Pride, Unprejudiced: It's a feat of levitation, contemplation, mood and love, love, love: I'm looking forward to talking to Coppola about her story of two lonely souls (Scarlett Johansson, Bill Murray), lost in Tokyo, deprived of their indifferent mates, adrift in an empire of signs without meaning, only recognizing a fellow forlorn face across the bar in the Tokyo Park Hyatt, across a generation or three.

Sofia Coppola's second feature-length film focuses on two guests at a Tokyo hotel -- Bob , a middle-aged actor in town to film whiskey commercials, and Charlotte, the young wife of a trendy photographer who is always out on a shoot. When Bob isn't on the job taking fragmented direction from the Japanese crew, he's receiving faxes on home decorating from his emotionally distant wife. And while her husband is away, Charlotte spends most of her time trying to motivate herself to do more than look out the window at Tokyo's urban sprawl. So when the two meet in the hotel bar, they strike up an unusual friendship, one that provides a welcome escape from their boredom and loneliness.
