Lost in Japan

Rating: 6/10 (14 March 2004)

Undoubtedly a well directed movie.On the other hand it tends to be a bit stretched out. The portrayal of how the main characters experience an alien culture is uncannily unrealistic but the pace of the movie tends to whittle down after the first 45 minutes without seeming to be going further. Whilst the two main characters are constantly developing, the movie did not and tends to be rather boring after a while.
On a different track, it is very interesting for such a movie coming out in 2003 not to have any sex scene between the two main characters when the plot itself was literally shouting out for this to happen!!! That was refreshing.
Overall, could have been a 9/10 movie. I give it 7
