Details: Amazon.ca Acclaimed by critics and international audiences, Virgin Suicides revealed in 1999 the talent of Sofia Coppola, worthy daughter of her father. Her second feature, Lost in translation, confirms all the good that we thought of her since she succeeded in transforming the meeting of two solitudes in Tokyo into a real moment of grace. Charlotte is 20 years old and still looking for herself. In the luxury hotel in the Japanese capital where she is staying with her photographer husband, she meets Bob Harris, in his forties, a film actor on his return to Japan to shoot an advertisement. Both are insomniacs and will forge a precious relationship made of a sweet complicity. With infinite delicacy, Sofia Coppola puts all her talent as a filmmaker at the service of a subtle and haunting scenario. Superb shot compositions, aesthetic inventiveness, and in-tone soundtrack serve up an intelligent and nuanced film that brilliantly uses the city's urban and stylized context to signify the cultural and psychological shift of its characters. A bittersweet chronicle of life choices and certain resulting disillusions, Lost in Translation is also based on the chemistry that works wonderfully between its two performers: Scarlett Johansson, of remarkable sensitivity, and Bill Murray, grandiose in celebrity. second-rate in the middle of a midlife crisis. Let's bet that the young lady Coppola will, thanks to this work, have a real first name. A making-of, deleted scenes, other elongated ones and a conversation with the director complete the DVD. – Helen Faradji.
