Excellent but mature film about finding a connection.

An excellent top notch gem with beautiful direction courtesy of Sofia Coppola...

...a deceptively simple study in unrequited attraction that succeeds in spite of minor problems with neglected sub-plots.

Sofia Coppola's sophomore film (following the gently assured The Virgin Suicides) is another exploration of delicate relationships and uncommunicated frustrations, this one in a beautifully composed atmosphere of isolation.

A relationship picture with elegant connective tissue; it's brittle and real, focused on the nuances of body language and unspoken desire, while indulging in a cheeky bit of knowing absurdity when the mood strikes.

So far as the central relationship goes, the film is almost European in its subtlety and nuance. Cinematic cherry blossom.

Depicts a very specific mental state too shaded and delicate for most movies to feel comfortable approaching it.

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

[Murray] can still do more with a raised eyebrow than anyone since Groucho Marx, but he's mellower and sometimes slightly poignant.

In Japan, the most extreme delicacy goes hand in hand with garishness, and Coppola offers up both for our delectation. It's a heady, hallucinatory combo.

With this film it becomes clear that Sofia Coppola is a filmmaker with eyes all her own.

Very much a mood piece, the film's deft balance of humor and poignancy makes it both a pleasurable and melancholy experience.
