Film: Lost in Translation

My rare film watching has had this added to the roll call. A really good and different film, about two people - a washed up actor and a newly wed woman in Japan. He's working on a whisky commercial and she is with her photographer husband.

Subtle comedy in many ways, but the film poses many questions about life and "what is it all for" but it is in no way a sad film, more sentimental, reflective and thoughtful.

Very atmospheric sound track too - I instantly remembered it from the trailers of 2003 (I was surprised to realise it was that old a film).

A good scoring 8/10 I think.
