"It’s a movie that I love and I’ve watched a ton of times. I think that early Wes Anderson was just so exciting and original, and he reinvented Bill Murray in a really cool way. The specifics of the production design and everything are just super inspiring."

A love story of loneliness
I love this film for its whimsical outlook of expatriates in Japan. It's a love story of loneliness between two people incredibly unsuited to one another. An older man, Bill Murray, married with grown kids, and the newly wed Scarlet Johannson, left to her own devices while her husband was at work. It's bittersweet for what it is. Having lived in China for three years I could empathise for some part, but unlike the protagonists who made zero effort to integrate, I learnt to speak the language. That's my only complaint.
