Lost.... In..... Trans!!!!!! Lation

Hmm, that really doesn't work. Imagine the big booming voice.

LOST!
IN!
TRANSLATION!

It really doesn't have the proper ring to it.

Anyhow. Jane and I went to see it last night and my was I impressed. I thought it was a stunning example of how a film doesn't have to follow the disney plotline and spoon-feed the audience. I thought it was a exemplary exhibition of cinematography, with a large proportion of time within the film dedicated to nothing but scenery.

One scene that I think will stay with me for a long time, is Bill Murray's character teeing off in the shadow of Mount Fuji.

Soundtrack is one to be bought. And I reckon I'll grab it on DVD whenever it's released as it deserves at least a 2nd, if not a 3rd fourth fifth and sixth viewing.

That's part of what I enjoyed, I think. It's different. Not your usual love story.

I'm normally really bad with films and find it difficult to sit through a two hour film without a break (I have a wandering mind and I tend to find myself thinking of other things I need to/should be doing when watching them). Unusually enough, because this film didn't have a conventional plotline, I think that held my attention a lot better.
