Middle-aged American movie star Bob Harris is in Tokyo to film a personal endorsement Suntory whiskey ad solely for the Japanese market. He is past his movie star prime, but his name and image still have enough cachet for him to have gotten this lucrative $2 million job. He has an unsatisfying home life where his wife Lydia follows him wherever he goes - in the form of messages and faxes - for him to deal with the minutiae of their everyday lives, while she stays at home to look after their kids. Staying at the same upscale hotel is fellow American, twenty-something recent Yale Philosophy graduate Charlotte, her husband John, an entertainment still photographer, who is on assignment in Japan. As such, she is largely left to her own devices in the city, especially when his job takes him out of Tokyo. Both Bob and Charlotte are feeling lost by their current situations, which are not helped by the cultural barriers they feel in Tokyo, those cultural barriers extending far beyond just not knowing the language. After a few chance encounters in the hotel, they end up spending much of their time hanging out together, each helping the other deal with their feelings of loss in their current lives. The friendship that develops between the two, which is not always a bumpy-free one, may be just for this specific place and time, but it may also have long lasting implications.
Leave your thoughts about Lost in Translation.
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerSean AxmakerIsn't about a May-December romance or a brief encounter in a faraway place. It's about being alone in a crowd and the power of unexpected friendships. |
| Princeton Town TopicsKam WilliamsAlternately laugh-out-loud silly and profoundly moving, kudos to Sofia Coppola for managing to capture an undeniable chemistry between Murray and his 18 year-old co-star, despite a certain asexuality. |
| Cinema SightWesley LovellPerfectly acted. Immeasurably funny. A great second outing for director Sofia Coppola. |
| Atlanta Journal-ConstitutionEleanor Ringel Gillespie[Murray] can still do more with a raised eyebrow than anyone since Groucho Marx, but he's mellower and sometimes slightly poignant. |
| Oregon HeraldMark SellsBy far, one of the best films of the year. |
| UK CriticIan Waldron-MantganiThe movie should have been a masterpiece of mood and character, and it almost is, revolving as it does around two wonderful performances. |
| Star-Democrat (Easton, MD)Greg Maki... A brilliant meditation on loneliness and life itself ... |
| Film Quips OnlineJohn R. McEwenCoppola somehow gets to the essence of human wanting with an amazing efficiency of style. |
| BBC.comStella PapamichaelThere's not a word or a wistful glance out of place in Sofia Coppola's offbeat comedy drama. |
| SPLICEDWireRob BlackwelderExtraordinary in its beautiful, lyrical simplicity...Coppola's seemingly effortless, flawlessly fluid command of the film's moods and unspoken emotions is cinematic bliss. |
