Simply Amazing

Rating: 10/10 (27 January 2004)

Lost In Translation is the best film of 2003. Sofia Coppola has definitly made a name for herself in this industry with her 3rd film. Bill Murray is excellent and Scarlett Johanson maybe today's best actress. It is a shame that the academy has shunned her performance and nominated Diane Keaton for a role in a movie that was very bad.
As for the film itself, when watching you really get emotionally involved with the two characters and you want them to get together. Sofia does a great job at slowing the pace down of the movie so you feel just as tired and bored as the characters themselves. The writing is brilliant and the setting in Tokyo gives a great feel to this story. Definitly sit home an watch it, this is not just another chick flick.....
