Lost In Awe...

Rating: 10/10 (11 June 2010)

Sofia Coppola's 'Lost In Translation' is one of those films that I was in awe of. I remember watching this gem years back... I loved it then, but after watching it after 5 years later, today, I was indeed awe-struck. It's an extra-ordinary story, with the most ordinary, or rather depressed characters.
'Lost In Translation' which was awarded the Academy-Award for Original Screenplay to Sofia, was an unbeatable winner! This isn't a love-story, this isn't about 2 people who are lost and wandering in a city that seems alien to them. In a running time of a 100 minutes, it's a wonderful experience for the viewer. What is the biggest plus point of this cult-hit, is that, you enjoy and look forward to know what will happen next in the lives of these 2 bored people. Sofia Coppola proves she's a talent, that is boon to cinema. Her Screenplay and Direction are simply flawless. The soundtrack also is amazing. Just Like Honey is one of my all-time favorite songs...
Bill Murray is outstanding in here. The Veteran Actor steals the show with a subdued, witty and charming performance. Scarlett Johansson is also at her fiery best. Plus, she looks angelic. Giovanni Ribisi is perfect in a brief role. Anna Faris is excellent in a 5-minute long role.
I am still Lost In Awe of 'Lost In Translation'. It's a must watch film for each and everyone, Two Big Thumbs Up!
