Synopsis
Two features. Sofia Coppola's second feature-length film 'Lost In Translation' focuses on two guests at a Tokyo hotel. Bob (played by Bill Murray), a middle-aged actor in town to film whiskey commercials, and Charlotte (played by Scarlett Johansson), the young wife of a trendy photographer (played by Giovanni Ribisi) who is always out on a shoot. When Bob isn't on the job taking fragmented direction from the Japanese crew, he's receiving faxes on home decorating from his emotionally distant wife. And while her husband is away, Charlotte spends most of her time trying to motivate herself to do more than look out the window at Tokyo's urban sprawl. So when the two meet in the hotel bar, they strike up an unusual friendship, one that provides a welcome escape from their boredom and loneliness. Coppola's minimalist script allows Murray and Johansson to give moving yet subtle performances as people who are lost in the limbo of a foreign country, but find each other for comfort and companionship. Also includes 'Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind'.

5.0 out of 5 stars You won't feel lost with spotless films like this, 10 Sep 2006
By P. Finch (Coventry, West Midlands, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Lost In Translation is my favourite movie of all time. its so original. its moving, funny, and although very slow moving in parts, worth sticking with to the brilliant, although mysterious, end. Bill Murray and Scarlett Johannson are superb in their roles as two people lost in the city of Tokyo, unsure of what to do and how to find their place. They are searching for that one thing that is missing in thier life..fun. You really care about the characters because they are so in depth, and the film really focuses on this and their relationship.

Eternal Sunshine is a clever, original and fantastic film, with great performances from the typically excellent Kate Winslet and Jim Carrey, proving he can be a serious actor when he wants to be. Although confusing in parts, if you love films like Memento and the like, then this is definetely for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars A perfect pairing of two fantastic films, 27 Dec 2008
By Lark (Ireland) - See all my reviews
I was so happy to find these two films paired with one another, its not often that DVD anthologists get it right and there was a time when you could be sure that you would find one great movie paired off with one not so great one but this definitely isnt the case.

Both of these movies are pretty quirky and shun simplistic or happy ever after endings, that said I really cant describe either of them as anything other than feel good movies. They arent realistic to the point of being dull reflections of everyone's everyday but they arent sloppy romantic flicks either.

Lost In Translation features two people out of step with their surroundings and as the movie progresses you get to thinking that they are out of step with their significant others. That said neither of them are experiencing anything much worse than what might be described as "ordinary misery", it's brilliantly acted and their relationship with one another develops, they get a lot of solace from spending time with one another. The acting is brilliant, this is proper film too, its not totally narrative driven and the direction is fantastic, not feeling compelled to create an air tight self-contained story which wont leave anything to the imagination of the viewer.

Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless mind is about a service which allows people to forget, the story then follows what happens when someone buys in the service, suspecting that their ex has already done so, only to become resistant to the process when it has begun. This isnt a sloppy or schulmtzy story of the love lorn or love lost, its a pretty cool mediation on memories and dreaming, this is something which its easy to seriously mess up (I'm thinking The Science of Sleep) but its done well and there's lots of humour (but surprising not from Carrey who proves he can do something other than play for laughs).

This is in many ways a good combination for the days when you'd like to have something to watch about life and love in all its imperfection, something for when the "soul searing love" sort of love story isnt exactly going to satisfy.
