Rewatching Lost in Translation

Saturday, 2 December, 2023

I recently decided (*1) to find and rewatch my DVD copy of Sofia Coppola‘s Lost in Translation (2003). Ended up finding and watching a bunch of YouTube videos to try to understand things and learn more.

Behind the Scenes – The Story of Cult Films: Lost in Translation (English + German with English subtitle)

Scarlett Johansson reflects on the 20th anniversary of ‘Lost in Translation’

Note *1: Directors Sofia Coppola and Spike Jonze (Being John Malkovich (1999) and Adaptation (2002)) were former wife and husband and they divorced in 2003, the same year Lost in Translation came out. Some say Jonze’s Her (2013) was a reply to Coppola’s Lost. I once watch a great Vimeo short video by Jorge Luengo Ruiz showing images from both films, simply stunning! Have a watch.
