A beautiful feature. Lost in Translation is the story of two strangers who connect by chance. They have similar emptiness in their lives and don't quite feel like home in Tokyo.
Bob Harris, an actor by profession is facing a mid-life crises, whose marriage has lost that zing, Charlotte is a young wife of a busy photographer, who yearns for the human contact. The two loners become friends in Tokyo and share each other's lives. He gives her the attention and cheesy lines, she gives him the company- someone he can talk to. The movie illustrates how the meaning of life changes from person to person and from time to time in one's life. What does life 'translate' to you? How much have you gained and lost? How far have you come? Did you get what you set out for? The answers to questions similar like these translate into the meaning of life for us, which clearly are lost in translation as we stand doing our life's time. Masterfully written and directed by Sofia Capola this drama is deftly embroidered with the culture shocks the American protagonists face in the Asian city. Highly recommended!
