My favourite

Rating: 10/10 (22 April 2019)

When people ask me what my favourite film is, I say "Lost in translation". The following question is normally "why?" And that is such a tough question to answer. Or if the person hasn't seen it, they ask what its about. I say "well not much really, not a great deal happens" It isn't at all exciting or thrilling, laugh out loud funny or devastatingly sad. It's just... beautiful. The cinematography, the soundtrack, every subtle detail. It's very gentle & handled with care & love. The minimum dialogue is perfect & the loud lights & sounds of Tokyo seems to have a opposite effect as the whole film is so calming & at times dreamy. I totally understand it's a marmite film & how others may hate it or will fall asleep after 30 mins... And as for the ending, something's are better left unheard. Just watch it & do so with a very open mind...
