Totally disagree.
Beautiful movie.... hauntingly cold and realistic. If anyone has ever spent time in a foreign culture abroad will know the feeling of detactment and alienation.
The music Coppola chooses hightens the overall mood and the Kevin Shield's score is perfect to create the dreamy atmosphere that Charlette and John meet and love and learn and grow in.....
and as for the acting --- WOW ---
Bill Murray puts in the most sublime, sad, and funny performace of his entire career.... and Scarlett Johansson is beautiful and poised to be a star.
Sofia Coppola creates a worthy successor to The Virgin Suicides. A masterpiece of control and percision. A lessor director would have ruined this movie.
