Some links about Lost in Translation. It was nice to find so many articles praising the film, but as always, some people hated it too. The interviews with Sofia Coppola are simple but they are inspiring in a sense, because she presents filmmaking in a very personal way – she collected stories and ideas and then put it together in script form. Moreover, many of her ideas are in the script and then in the film in the ways that they are, simply because she liked it and thought it fit. I find that reassuring, because often in the creative filmmaking process, analysis isn’t necessary (but it’s still often useful).

Lost in translation is a fantastic film. I just love the tokyo backdrop and simplicity of the storyline. Bill Murray’s genius.

I love love love this film! everyone that i’ve met has said that it’s ‘boring’, but i seriously dont think they understand what it’s about: with ‘proper’ films like lost in translation it doesn’t always have to be about the plot or whatever, it’s a mixture of emotions, identity, colour, music, location, script – I think most judge a film literally on its ability to keep them interested on the first sitting with minimal effort! I think that real film requires patience to look beyond the surface and to seek meaning out of an abstract situation. Thank you for this post! I’m glad someone likes it as much as i do! :)
