12. Lost in Translation

Directed by Sofia Coppola in 2003, Lost in Translation stars Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson as two lonely souls who form an unexpected bond while staying in a Tokyo hotel. Bob (Murray) is a washed-up actor, and Charlotte (Johansson) is a young woman struggling with life’s uncertainties. The movie is insightful because it shows how even fleeting connections can profoundly impact our lives, offering comfort in the most unexpected places. It’s a beautiful, quiet exploration of loneliness and companionship.
