Sofia Coppola is great

Rating: 10/10 (12 October 2003)

Sofia Coppola is quickely becoming one of the better directors out there. She has a great feel for directing actors. And she can say so much with so little.
With her first film, she did have a novel to work off of, and kept the literary style the same. Both the novel and the film "The Virgin Suicides" utilize little dialogue. And Sofia was able to make a beautiful film with the little dialogue.
With "Lost in Translation" she again made a beautiful movie with little dialogue. Most of the story is told through interaction. What is said is not as important what is done. The scene with the elderly man in the hospital, with the ladies in the background. Neither of the two gentlemen understand each other. But a connection is made.
This is one of the best movies i have ever seen (and yes, i have seen many, many, many films, probably more than you will ever see, so i can make that judgement)
I give it 10 out of 10. i love it
