https://suzanneferriss.com/sofia-coppola/ Due for release March 9th, 2023: 'In this close look at the multi-award-winning film, Suzanne Ferriss mirrors Lost in Translation’s structuring device of travel: her analysis takes the form of a trip, from planning to departure. She details the complexities...

Thanks for keeping the site up Bob. I don't watch the film often, it might have been a couple of years since my last viewing now, but even 20 years later it's still a beautiful film for so many reasons. Like was said above, both the film and the site represent a different time in my life and it's ni...

....who's going to Tokyo this year??? Not this year, but a dear friend and I have talked about visiting in 2023 ... For me, the twentieth anniversary of Lost in Translation ! For him, finally visiting Tokyo Disneyland and Universal Studios Japan! (Okay, that's for me, too! :wink: ) If anybody out t...

I think maybe it's been a couple of years now since I've watched this film. It's a reminder of a different time in my life when I travelled to new places, often by myself for the adventure. I'm sure when I watch it again it'll bring memories back. I never got to watch this in the cinema - I was at t...

Thank you for posting this. Although the sushi place and Air nightclub has closed, it's quite surprising how little has changed in 15 years. Perhaps it's a result of the economic stagnation the economy is known for? I'm sure being in the film has been quite profitable for the Park Hyatt, and I would...

I think the song with Japanese lyrics is 'kaze wo atsumate' by happy end. Is goodbye by Kevin Shields?

Thanks Bob, might give it a watch - might be a bit unseasonable for May though!

I'm currently browsing on an android mobile using prosilver and subsilver and everything works fine for me

I never did get round to watching this, despite it staying on Netflix well into January, was it entertaining?

interesting... I've never heard of dido being held in such esteem...

it'd be interesting to see if things have changed over the last few years!

I hope you had a fantastic trip!

Welcome! We're still here, but I like to think the forum has moved from being a bustling conversation place to a quiet library of accumulated thoughts from the 11+ years it has been open. Pour yourself a whiskey (Suntory of course), you'll always be welcome.

I'm glad it's grown on you, I think it is a film that has an appeal at different stages of your life.

Thank you for recommending this, I'll have to give it a watch sometime!

Thanks I'll have to check it out.

I really enjoyed Her this year, it also seemed like a spiritual successor to LIT.

Wow, how did I miss these? Great photos, they're so evocative! It seems like things haven't changed at all since the movie was made over ten years ago now.

I'm really surprised at the cost of flights also nowadays.

Hi Bob, thanks for letting us know. Will it be possible to retain the look and feel of the current site do you think?

I'll have to watch it again, has whoever mixed the soundtrack literally looped the same call twice?

I believe they're rooks (I tend to mix them up with ravens), their call is very common around Kyoto and Tokyo.

I've always watched this film alone. I used to watch it late at night whilst drinking bourbon (this is nearly ten years ago or so). I suppose it would add to the jetlagged feeling. Nowadays I prefer to play it before the sun has fully risen. Usually by the time it finishes the skies are clear but th...
