Tom Feb 11, 2026 absolutely love this film See more Jennifer B Feb 10, 2026 Slow-moving, boring movie. See more Al A @Secretsquirrel83 1 day ago Still as much of a beautiful film 2 decades on as when it was made. See more SIMAS C @simas_eros Oct 23, 2026 This film is so good. Subtly erotic from the very first scene, it is, above all, about the repression of desire and the words left unsaid—a trait so characteristic of Japanese society, and of the Americans who find themselves infected by it.

See more gungi T @WhatWhere Sep 21, 2026 This is not the most elegant introductory shot of Scarlett Johansson, who was 17 at the time of filming, lying naked except for her underwear on a bed with her back to the camera, which focuses on her bottom. It certainly captures the character's sense of alienation and the feeling of not being seen, as well as her estrangement during her time in Tokyo. The film explores themes of self-realisation, the fear of loss, and the anxiety of wandering aimlessly among strangers, depicting the subtle bond between a young girl and a middle-aged man and emphasising the connection between two seemingly different yet similar stories. While the film's title embraces the implicit meaning of misunderstanding and strangeness, the scenes that explicitly depict miscommunication and the hilarious staging of incompetent translation make the slow burn a little more enjoyable.
