Bill Murray – Lost in Translation
I like Bill Murray but have never gravitated towards his films as quickly as other cinephiles. Lost in Translation was the first film of his that I thought “I get it.” He expertly plays to his comedic bearings, while also allowing the loneliness of the character and his curiosity of his current setting and companionship to breathe life into the film. He has a magnetic pull, a heavy set to his shoulders that hint at his world-weary ways, and a touch of the charisma that he’s known for.
