to my mind this be just an average ordinary silly film . the entire film take place in an hotel . this be just fine but by show some shot of a tokyo skyscraper hotel heaven only know what ms. coppola wish to convey . may be she want to depict that a people live in high building their feeling and emotion become low . a word about the bewildered american in japan oh no tokyo . bill murray look utterly lose a if he have not be pay his salary for play the part in the film . scarlett be fine but she could have do well . the bad thing about this film be that japanese people be caricature . it be a if all the japanese people use very long sentence even for express simple of idea . for all those lose soul interested in japan bashing and please watch alain corneau film stupeur et tremblements .
