Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Sofia Coppola has, with two elegant movies, proved herself a talented director with a keen eye for interior life. She's also got great ears. For Lost in Translation, the story of a May to December friendship in Tokyo between two displaced Americans, the score is a tonic for jetlag. Coppola prescribes a dose of shoegazer pop, from My Bloody Valentine's chiming "Sometimes" to Jesus & Mary Chain's fuzzed-out "Just Like Honey". The music nails the hazy conscious state of actors Bill Murray (as a movie star in a midlife crisis) and Scarlet Johansson (as an emotionally marooned twentysomething). It also provides a safe, warm envelope in which they can enact their overseas adventures. Working with producer Brian Reitzell, Coppola lured Valentine's Kevin Shields into providing several slices of dreamy indie-rock and sonic wallpaper, as stylish as it is formless. There's a welcome bit of Japanese goofiness, a funhouse-mirror reflection of US folk-rock courtesy of early-1970s band Happy End. And a "hidden" track provides the audio of Murray, in the film, doing his sleepy karaoke version of Roxy Music's "More Than This." --Marc Weidenbaum

5.0 out of 5 stars Lost in the cool feeling, 2 Mar 2004
By Mr. Aj Des Forges (Bristol, England.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This captures the feeling in the film perfectly, and the film captured a feeling from life quite well- its like a wander into the zone of drifting through the complex and crazy world, yet somehow feeling good and elevated about not knowing where you're really heading because there is beauty and excitement to be experianced from a subtle view point. Its more than worth getting just for the Kevin Shields references, although all his contibutions are probably what see it through. City Girl does not disappoint, and I recall hearing it in the film and thinking how amazing it sounded. The MBV track 'Sometimes' sounds extra amazing in the context of this album. Other tracks all have merits, even the slightly cheezy 'Pheonix' (TOO YOUNG) works really well in the context. the DIvegas track sounds amazing here too- Its all working really well- if you enjoyed any music in the film, you'll love this.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bought this the other day, 28 Jan 2004
I have seen the film and thought it was good but not as good as the hype suggested at the time but it wasn't until after the film, when you begin to think about it that you recognise how good it was and this suggests only one thing to me, ANY FILM WHICH HAS A LASTING IMPRESSION USUALLY MEANS THAT IT HAS AN IMPRESSIVE AND INSPIRING SOUNDTRACK.

And this is no different, the soundtrack is stunning and beautiful and is perfect bus/car music. You all know what I mean you get up drowsy, make yourself a cup of coffee, join the rat race to work and you want something before you arrive to chill you out and to inspire and this really hits the spot. I have to say that this is the best, no.1. "easy listening" soundtrack I have ever bought and it knocks the socks off of all pretenders to the throne.

I can see myself playing this for ages and ages, a classic in the making and if you are on a tight budget like me and you want to seek beauty without shelling out for a di vinci this is a bargain!

4.0 out of 5 stars Marvellously atmospheric, 28 Jan 2004
LOST IN TRANSLATION cuts loose from the 'all-too-usual' selection of MOR dross found in so many soundtracks these days. This CD contains a selection of mood pieces that helped made the film so memorable but is also an enjoyable 'late night' listen that stands up as a superb piece of work in its own right.
If moody indie sounds and atmospheric electronica are your cup of tea, then this is definitely for you......oh and do yourself a favour and see the film, it's superb!
