Lost in Translation

Rating: 8/10 (5 October 2004)

Such a shame that so many people I have spoke to that have loathed this film! I work(ed) in a DVD Rental store and it rented brilliantly, people saw the legend Bill Murray along with the "FUNNIEST MOVIE OF THE YEAR" quotes on the cover and thought this can't be bad. Problem was nobody liked it! 'Lost in Translation' isn't for the masses. Just people who have a genuine appreciate for the talents of Sofia Coppola and Bill Murray (Rushmore - ????). I can't understand how people can sit through hours of Lord of the Rings rubbish but not be able to view some of modern cinema's finest imagery and story.
'Lost in Translation' is one of the best films of the year! Bill Murray doesn't have to work on a Golf Course or be called Dr. Venkman to be appreciated. He has been brilliant in his new choice of movies "Rushmore" & "The Royal Tenebaums" and the rest on there way (minus 'Garfield'!)
Sofia Coppola will take the BIG awards eventually and fully deserved the academy award she received for this film!
Even Anna Faris wasn't annoying!
