Worth the watch

Rating: 9/10 (18 March 2005)

I found this film riveting. It is an elegant piece truly which truly embodies the "less is more" ethic. If you're looking for heavy action and packed dialog, look elsewhere.
Lost in Translation proves spot on in terms of the angst of winter/spring relationships. Johannsen and Murray are perfect for each other in this film: very real, very heart-felt.
As having traveled to Japan....the film accurately depicts the cultural uniqueness of the country and how that can sit on the American mind in a jet-lagged state.
I'm proud to have the DVD as part of my library. It's watched about once per month.
This is a true gem....if you have a mindset open enough to receive it.
