Ah, gorgeous - love it!

Rating: 8/10 (5 June 2004)

Lost in Translation has to be seen - it's an amazing film. I went to see it with a few mates - three of us came out in a daze totally swept up in the film, the other four hated it. They actually felt as though they'd wasted their time and money. Fools! I've since convinced one of them that it is a good movie, we went to see it again and she enjoys it. I'm glad she's seen the light.
It's a very refreshing movie. The scene when Murray 'wakes up' when entering Tokoyo is how you feel - it really does wake you up. The slow 'roll' of the first few scenes is contrasted when Joh. and Mur. go around Tokoyo drinking, it's vibrant and crazy and lovely and great and...! Ah! It's amazing!
