Spontaneous, true to life and beautiful!

Rating: 9/10 (18 February 2006)

Lost in Translation is warm, atmospheric and character driven film that provides so many tender and true to life moments that it makes you smile. The performances of Bill Murray and Scarlet Johansen are flawless. The atmosphere and isolation created serve well as the backdrop for two strangers, in a foreign land searching for meaning in their lives -- and ultimately finding it in one another. This film is a thought provoking one; it's an adult film with no clear three-act structure, it's spontaneous just like life and it's beautiful on so many different levels. Sometimes the briefest encounters are the one's that stay with you for the rest of your lives. The tagline for this film reads, "Everybody wants to be found", and that is so, so true.
