It remains mesmerizing all these years later, even upon repeat viewings.

Life stops being terrifying when we open the doors to the unknown. Even for a short amount of time. Coppola's "Lost in Translation" is written beautifully. Full review in Spanish

Lost in Translation respectfully tackles the subject of companionship and relationships while still providing laughs. Its a film that I regretfully waited too long to view, but grateful to have found this gem.

Murray, playing an extension of himself, fills the role with ease, and Johansson is right in step with him.

What Coppola presents is something akin to a mindfulness session - the art of being present in the moment.
