Paul and Corey Cross the Streams: S7E02 [LOST IN TRANSLATION (2003)]

As we are now a quarter of the way through the 21st century, like Bill Murray in Tootsie, Paul and Corey are asking, "What happened?" This season we are looking at the trends, genres, styles, and more that make up cinema of the past 25 years. For Corey's first choice, we take a look at Sofia Coppola's second feature, Lost in Translation (2003) - an impressionistic meditation on loneliness, alienation, jetlag, and Tokyo. The film also allows for a deepdive into nepotism in Hollywood and America; friendship across generations and genders; and racism as a product of colonial imagination. It's (Suntory) time for a great conversation!
