An existential moment...

Rating: 10/10 (1 April 2007)

I ran across Lost In Translation on cable in March of 2007. Not much of a movie-goer, but this one was worth the wait. Murray is at his best. We see him being human in a way that we rarely allow ourselves to be--real.
As the movie unfolded, I became more and more incredulous-- I was experiencing exactly what the characters were experiencing in real time (albeit scenes created for the movie--but then life is a movie, isn't it?) and experiencing it the same way they were. Absolutely wonderful, wonderful existential moment on film. Felliini would have loved it. If you are at all connected to your soul, or wanting to connect to your soul, you will want to watch this movie. Thanks to Ms. Coppola for writing it, and pushing Murray to do it.
