Very Good, but What of it!

Rating: Null/10 (15 March 2004)

I wasn't expecting a masterpiece and I wasn't expecting a bad film so really I didn't know what to expect at all but I found Lost in Translation to be a very interesting film that doesn't really go anywhere but makes you feel good at the end of it anyway. It starts slow it continues to be slow and believe it or it just ends without really learning anything but fate.
I didn't find that the two main characters had anything in common apart from a good sense of humour but it was more like a 1 hour and 47 minutes of counselling trying to understand exactly what is the problem with these two people's lives. Sofia Coppola does approach filmmaking in a different way to others because I thought The Virgin Suicides was different and ended when I didn't expect it to. But you can't say much about this apart from go and see with a open mind and don't be fuelled by the trailer because I was lead to believe this was a comedy about finding yourself but it isn't. Still it's a total chill out film and just back and take it in and try and come up with your view about what this film really is about.
