Bob, an American actor in his 50s and way past his prime, comes to Tokyo to shoot a commercial -- purely for the money. Charlotte, recently graduated from Yale and newly married, tags along with her photographer husband who is in Tokyo for an assignment. Feeling lost both literally and emblematically in this foreign land, they soon find each other and connect. Bill Murray gives the performance of his career, Sofia Coppola walked away with an Oscar for her script, but the real star of this film is Johansson, who at 19 years old, displays exceptional depth and subtlety in her interpretation of Charlotte.

Adapted from Tracy Chevalier's novel and inspired by the painting of the same name, Girl with a Pearl Earring expertly mixes art history with romantic fiction. The result is a subtle portrayal of the relationship between Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer and his enigmatic subject. In mid-17th century Holland, 17-year-old Griet is forced into servanthood and taken on in Vermeer's household, where an understanding between her and the painter begins to forge, leading to the creation of one of the greatest paintings to date. Johansson's sublime performance earned her Golden Globe and BAFTA nominations.

When it's time to say goodbye to high school and venture into the real (ghost) world, best friends Enid and Rebecca decide to stick together. They will get jobs and rent a flat together. However, as Rebecca starts to embrace conventionality with a steady job and a “regular” apartment, Enid fails to hold down a job for more than a day. The more the rift between them widens, the less likely it is that they will be able to bridge it. Johansson's appealing portrayal of Rebecca in this anti-Hollywood coming-of-age film is like a trailer that gives you a peep of the star that is destined to shine.
