A must see movie which is something... different

Rating: 8/10 (3 February 2004)

Lost in translation is for these years one of the best films of the year. You would ask me: we are still in the beginning, how?! And I would reply: You will see in the Academy awards ;)
Very nice and touchy movie with two really nice leading actors, Bill and Scarlett (ah.. Scarlett), shot in the chaotic city of Tokyo (which I had the chance to visit myself and see exactly what is going on there) and it is about the story of two not-satisfied-with-their-married-life americans who meet there.
The screenplay and the direction are really nice and the scenario although is not something extraodinary, it really has that spice to keep you awake all the time.
In addition, the first thing that I did the next morning after seeing the film was to buy the really nice soundtrack of the movie.
Sofia probably steps on her father's rue.
The tagline? Or at least that is what I got: Love comes in places that you would never even imagine and if it comes, don't let it go, just DON'T. Grab it as strong as you can.
Definitely one of THE movies for this year.
Also please pay attention to Scarlett and if you would like to go a step further, after the LiT, go and see the girl with a pearl earring, to compare the two Scarletts...
