A lonely, aging movie star named Bob Harris (Bill Murray) and a conflicted newlywed, Charlotte (Scarlett Johansson), meet in Tokyo. Bob is there to film a Japanese whiskey commercial; Charlotte is accompanying her celebrity-photographer husband. Strangers in a foreign land, the two find escape, distraction and understanding amidst the bright Tokyo lights after a chance meeting in the quiet lull of the hotel bar. They form a bond that is as unlikely as it is heartfelt and meaningful.This screening will include a meeting of The Westdale Film Society! Open to Members of any membership level, we invite you to stay after the screening as Jeff will lead a casual, guided discussion with your fellow film lovers about the movie, stories and context about its creation, and the experience of watching it in on the big screen in our historic cinema. Coffee and refreshments will also be served when doors open!
