A great film from Sofia Coppola

Rating: 8/10 (11 January 2007)

I once talked to a friend of mine at school about this film. He said in simple terms "Nothing happens man". I didn't bother trying to explain to him the significance of a film like this, and the point was not intriguing plot lines or a complex story, and that the impressive part about this film is its simplicity. But i just thought these things to myself, anyhow, i haven't seen any other film from Sofia Coppola, but from what i hear about virgin suicides and marie antoinette, i think Lost In Translation is her gem. I didn't think i would like a film like this, and i wasn't exactly obsessed with it like many people (film buffs) i know are, however i can't deny that its a great film. Murray and jOhansson are great, and Coppola's directorial hand is very good. I loved the score from Kevin Shields and cinematography from Lance Acord. It was very good atmospheric film and did well to show how two people can show affection without necessarily being intimate. ---- IMDb Rating: 7.9, my rating: 9/10
