LOST IN TRANSLATION - SUZANNE FERRISS KARTONIER...

Sofia Coppola's Lost in Translation (2003) brings two Americans together in Tokyo  each
experiencing a personal crisis. Charlotte (Scarlett Johansson)  a recent graduate in philosophy
faces an uncertain professional future  while Bob Harris (Bill Murray)  an established
celebrity  questions his choices at midlife. Both are distant - emotionally and spatially -
from their spouses. They are lost until they develop an intimate connection. In the film's
poignant  famously ambiguous closing scene  they find each other  only to separate. 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 of filming (a 27-day shoot with no permits in Tokyo) 
explores Coppola's allusions to fine art  subtle colour palette and use of music over words 
and examines the characters' experiences of the Park Hyatt Tokyo and excursions outside 
together and alone. She also re-evaluates the film in relation to Coppola's other features  as
the product of an established director with a distinctive cinematic signature: 'Coppolism'.
Fundamentally  Ferriss argues that Lost in Translation is not only a cinema classic  but
classic Coppola too.
