The entire atmosphere in Sofia Coppola's Lost in Translation can be felt to be that of emotional as well as geographical disconnection. Based in the neon-lit streets of Tokyo, this captures all those drifting feelings while lost in some strange land. The slow-building and unfolding relationship between Bill Murray's Bob and Scarlett Johansson's Charlotte comes like a slow, quiet dream. It also has silences in it as poignant as the fleeting moments. The film's very melancholic tone, alongside dreamy cinematography, gives it a feel that is almost like a snapshot of an unforgettable, transient experience, over before you have even realized it has begun.
