活力之都《迷失东京》
城市给人的感觉不只是温情,更多是异乡人的迷惘和失落,以及巨大的文化冲击。《迷失东京》的迷失主题让不少异乡人产生了共鸣,而东京的独特魅力也在其中展现。
Americans abroad, almost innocents. Charlotte, fresh out of Yale with a degree in philosophy, is in Tokyo with her husband, a photographer whose work takes him away that week. She's adrift, her soul on ice. Bob, mid-50s, a semi-retired movie star, is there to make $2 million doing a whisky ad. At home are a wife and young children, but he's jaded and melancholy. Both are jet-lagged, and Tokyo's culture and language push them further off kilter. When they meet in the hotel bar and spend their free time together for a few days, possibilities arise amidst the losses. Their friendship becomes an experience: does he have something to teach; can she reconnect him to life?
