Synopsis

Sofia Coppola's second film is a beautiful and quietly comic dissection of the loneliness and love shared between two Americans who meet by chance in Tokyo. Bill Murray delivers the performance of a lifetime as a melancholy, middle-aged American actor filming a liquor commercial in Japan, who meets a disenchanted young woman (the equally wonderful Scarlett Johansson) in his hotel bar. Through a series of wild adventures through Tokyo and intimate, late-night conversations about their lonely lives, loves, and fears, the two form an unexpected connection. "Sweet and sad at the same time it is sardonic and funny" (Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times). Sofia Coppola---2003---USA---102 mins.

Lost in Translation produced an effect similar to that of Garden State. It tricked masses of people into thinking they were seeing an independent film, and then cashed in on tickets purchased to prove they were smart enough to understand something that didn't have a blaring moral or lots of action and violence. This is not to say that it isn't a good film, but it doesn't measure up to the overly enthusiastic popular opinion. Like Sofia Coppola's other films, this one is quiet and patient, which is a lovely change of pace. Unlike her other films, however, this one seems almost masturbatory in a sense that it is a collection of all the things she has determined 'smart and witty thoughts.' It's a decent rainy day rental, but don't expect to get lost in it.
