Finally watched Lost in Translation before a trip to Tokyo. It’s certainly a good movie that is well directed with two excellent acting performances, and I get the isolated people in an isolating environment angle, but why is this deemed Oscar worthy and considered one of the best films of the 21st century? It’s a romantic comedy with very little romance or comedy. Would complain there is next to no conflict to drive the plot but there barely even is a plot. It’s like an hour of conversations and the rest is long shots of people walking. Would give it an 8 out of 10 but don’t get the hype.
