Lost in Translation

Hello there! How about pigeons, am I right? What’s that? You don’t understand? How unfortunate, you see, that joke is a guaranteed knee-slapper in the standup clubs of Albania, but it seems the witticism’s humor has been lost in translation. Oh my, I see you’ve begun to feel deeply isolated and alienated thanks to the difficulty of culture shock. Perhaps you’ll feel seen by the subject of today’s brand new episode of Magellans at the Movies: Lost in Translation! This 2003 romance/comedy directed by Sofia Coppola is all about the struggle of feeling stranded in an unfamiliar place with unfamiliar people, and, according to its reception at least, it portrays it with some skill. Yes, LIT is well regarded by people who use words like “ambiguity,” “subversive,” and "hierarchical arrangement” (actual extracts from real reviews), but will our hosts and the film hit the bar to enjoy their unexpected connection, or will they languish in the loneliness of separate Japanese hotel rooms? For a relaxing podcast, make it a Magellans at the Movies podcast and let’s find out together!
