Lost in Translation

Rating: 8/10 (17 May 2005)

I really enjoyed lost in Translation and found it really easy watching, I was also surprised to find a film that seemed to live in real time and had a steady and realistic plot.
However after watching it I began to wonder whether a male director could have produced this film with the same results and whether the fact that I found it so different and refreshing was because it was directed from a female point of view.
As I don't know anyone else who has watched the film I would be really interested to see what other people think and whether I am putting too much emphasis on the director or whether I should be embracing the differences between male and female directors?
