Film: Lost in Translation

[Lost in Translation]

Lost in Translation is a captivating film. Starting with its opening shots beckoning us to Tokyo, I kept connecting with the hearts of the protagonists of the film. Never before have I seen such an accurate depiction of that sense of loneliness you can feel in a crowded city, or the acceptance of it and the aching happiness that comes from recognising sulking isn't the way to go.

The film's particularly sparse with dialogue, instead relying on the actors abilities to convey complex emotion through their visual presence alone.

Stunning film-making.
