“…”
On this episode of AT THE MOVIES IN THE NOUGHTIES (or 00s if you’re into the whole brevity thing), Devon Elson takes a trip to Tokyo to sample some Suntory whiskey, but this spectacular tourist spot is leaving him a little confused, he’s going to need a translator for Sofia Coppola’s shoegaze romantic-dramedy Lost in Translation (2003)!
His special guest helping him understand the meaning behind the words is Sam Stokes, host of Reel Talk, Den of Ten, One Rules Them All, and the upcoming Last Take!
Together they find much to appreciate in a mature adult drama such as the infamous 36-second opening of Scarlett Johannson’s 17-year-old behind, racial humour as these Americans just can’t understand Japanese, and then actually admire the wealth and complexity of Coppola’s writing of two adults finding themselves in each other while emotionally adrift in a foreign land.
