I've been there, and now I've seen the movie

Rating: Null/10 (27 March 2004)

I was reminded of my visit to China. Everything is so surreal that your normal life becomes an object of much analysis. Unfortunately these characters do not explore anything but their own boredoms.
If you are in the mood to go nowhere fast, see some alternative scenery, consider some alternative cultures (as opposed to experiencing some culture) then sit back with a glass of beer (or just whine).
The Third time I watched this it was most rewarding while conducting Ebay transactions.
I hope Sofia Coppola can be motivated to explore her legacy. "Lost.." is a good entry in the filmography, but was unmotivated for classic greatness.
