Literally the only flick that kike has looked moderately attractive in.

I liked it, but that was more than a decade ago.

Is it worth revisiting?

Nothing really sticks to the mind in this shallow attempt at portraying "alienation." Yes, Bill Murray is cool and witty, Scarlett Johansson is gorgeous, the music is good and Tokyo looks otherworldly, but you can't hang your movie on these surface pleasures without any real ideas or vision and have it succeed as much more than banal eye candy; designer alienation, ennui chic™.

When it comes to painting such themes with actual emotional or intellectual heft, let's just say that Coppola is no Antonioni or Kar-Wai (two of her self-professed influences). This is a superficially pretty but achingly dull and empty film with nothing of substance to express, and I can only suppose its mass appeal rests largely on the shimmering city, mediocre songs and lead actors it captures, all of which impart a certain built-in pathos mostly separate from the text of the film itself.

This is ITMFL for plebs. Nobody actually likes this film, they just like to be seen liking it.

It will make you depressed about not having a gf do NOT watch

It's great and highly relatable for anyone that stepped foot in Tokyo in the late 90's/early 2000's.

Portrayal of that time was so spot on that Murray/Scarjo and the paper thin plot are merely vehicles to explore the setting and the many sub/background characters.
