Lost in Translation

The culture has shifted in the two decades since Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson bonded in a Tokyo hotel for LOST IN TRANSLATION, one of Sophia Coppola's best.

Just like the final words of Sofia Coppola’s film, the best parts of the movie are left indecipherable...

...its pretty images of Tokyo and oddball intergenerational friendship coalesce into something unexpectedly moving...

A marvellous, exquisite movie.

Excellent but mature film about finding a connection.

Lost in Translation revels in contradictions. It's a comedy about melancholy, a romance without consummation, a travelogue that rarely hits the road.

More than two decades later, this is still Sofia Coppola's best film. An exquisite dramedy that stays with you long after the credits roll. [Full review in Spanish]

[The] backdrop of night-time Tokyo as an alien landscape against which the couple delicately explore each other's ambiguous feelings, this talented young director has produced a sad, funny, magical and almost irresistibly moving experience.

Sofia Coppola’s sophomore film is another exploration of delicate relationships and uncommunicated frustrations, this one in a beautifully composed atmosphere of isolation.

It remains mesmerizing all these years later, even upon repeat viewings.
