Sofia Coppola Films: 5 Best Performances

Scarlett Johansson – Lost in Translation

I love Scarlett Johansson as an actress. She has an old-school screen presence and always seems wise beyond her years in roles, which helps when she’s playing older than she is in films such as Lost in Translation. She is the real scene-stealer of the film as she’s constantly restless, looking for company and vibrantly youthful. Her presence is warm and inviting, the ultimate foil for Bill Murray’s character, and while he’s technically our lead, she’s the one who has a story I wanted to know more of by the film’s end. With films such as this, Her, and Under the Skin, she makes for a very interesting talent.
