S03E09: Lost in Translation (2003)
from Back to the Pictures
In the penultimate review of Season 3, our trusted trio delight in disagreement as a relic of Ben's film student days rears its beautiful or ugly head, depending on who you ask! Sofia Coppola's understated, cinematic love letter to Tokyo, Lost In Translation (2003) is in the firing line this time round. And the boys have a jovial time dissecting the nuances between loving a film where hardly anything happens and loathing a film where hardly anything happens. The debate ebbs and flows from respecting the lesser plot and more on experiencing life. Why the exploration of theme is more fitting than the desire for revelation. Is the movie irresistible and the characters empathetic or is it irredeemable and the characters pathetic? Find out what's hot and what's not about LIT on another episode of Back to the Pictures...and remember, for relaxing times...make it Suntory times.
