Lost In Translation

Filmtip: Sofia Coppola's nieuwste prent Lost In Translation is een lichtvoetig melodrama met de interculturele communicatie tussen Japanners en bezoekers van Japan als inspiratiebron.

Op de site kunt u enkele grappige fragmenten bekijken (tip: kies The Rat Pack) en een interview lezen waarin Sofia Coppola vertelt hoe het was om in Japan een film op te nemen:

"There was also a lot of Pictionary and Charades. We'd be trying to describe something and, if there wasn't a translator around, we'd go up on the big grease-pencil board, we'd make a picture and we'd point to it, and everyone would go, "Ah! Hi, hi, hi, hi! O-kay, o-kay, o-kay!" There was an understanding through eye contact, through pictures, through animated hand-waving, through bits of broken Japanese and English - and a mutual desire to make the same movie."
