I’ve watched Lost in Translation at least 100 times over the last 15 years. It is my go-to meditation, my peaceful reminder of the simplicity of joy, even if nothing around you makes sense. No other film brings that feeling to the table. None. Scarlett and Bill are perfect examples of the ambiguity of connections, and the setting, a perfect nod to the lack of straightforward meaning in all things. Epic.

[@Jordanc87]

I've also watched it 100 times for the same reasons

[@danieljamesmead]

Same here. We went to Japan for our honeymoon and we watch it every wedding anniversary.

[@Vinnie101a]

Played to perfection by both Bill and Scarlett. Some great moments!

[@steigerwald28]

"my peaceful reminder of the simplicity of joy" ~ that is gorgeous. I just sent it the the girl I love.

[@NikiWonoto26]

[@AlessandroCarpentiero]

Here's the place you come to when you've finished watching Lost in Translation, trying to cope with that feeling of emptiness that just an awesome movie can leave you with. Thanks for posting!

[@ryanrightmire1447]

I agree with you. It's like you are left searching to fill that hole left

[@AlessandroCarpentiero]

@@ryanrightmire1447 glad to hear I'm not alone :) I was just listening to the song "Alone in Kyoto" last night. Damn this is such a good movie.

[@ryanrightmire1447]

@@AlessandroCarpentiero I love the soundtrack and for awhile it's all I listened to while I worked ..haha used to have it years ago on old cassete player because CD always scratched so I always listened to it. It is great

“l Decrare” - Why can’t there be a sequel with a happy ending - Found in Translation

[@Vinnie101a]

Kenolent : It’s my favorite movie. of all time. So poignant. Can really identify with it. I’ll take your suggestion and check out other movies of Sofia.

[@jeffdawson2786]

Sofia recaptures moments of joy and sadness in life that no other director seems to care about or have time for.

[@julien24ja]

I spent 5 years in Japan... And even when i go on holiday i feel different... Alone... Sometimes fun and sometimes bored... Disconnected... So many people around but empty and full in same time... Summer makes you feel full and wanna be alone... Winter makes you feel sad, alone and wanna meet people... I often watch this movie to remember this feeling...the feeling that I'm alive... Weak and nothing on this earth... Tokyo makes you feel like that.

[@mootpointmusic7627]

Watching Lost In Translation is like putting on a great album... obviously it helps that the soundtrack is pretty much the best of all time.

[@ShermerHighSchool]

Thank you so much for sharing that. I went to Tokyo and sat at the exact same spot Bill is at the Park Hyatt. Being in Tokyo, and sitting there at the bar, was a religious experience through and through. Everybody who loves this movie should go to Japan at least once in their life. Life changing experience!

[@agcouper]

How expensive is that place?

[@EpicHotCheese]

One of the greatest film ever made. I just keep coming back every so often.

[@gmar7836]

Hard to believe this great film is almost 20 years old!

[@muxinedrisch]

Fall, 2004 or so. 9am in the morning. I was alone at the press screening in one of the most impressive cinemas in Vienna, the Gartenbaukino, and this movie had a huge impact on me. Thanks Everybody involved.

[@NikiWonoto26]

lucky you...

[@fomorians]

I just realized that Bill Murray was literally just being himself in the film, which adds even more of my enjoyment to it haha.

[@felipedraper]

Stunned by the amount of work in a “alternative” movie. So gigantic project, so many people and stuff

[@19E37-e3i]

I lived something much like this story a year or so earlier staying at the Hyatt Regency. This movie captures the vibe so incredibly well. She was from Taipei. We were never meant to spend our lives together. And I'll always miss her.

[@ammramy]

I just saw a interview with Scarlett were she said she felt isolated from the rest of the crew. You can see it in this documentary. It may have been an accident or it may have been a way to get Scarlett to better portray loneliness and depression.

[@joewoodley6625]

probably because she was 17

[@GiantSandles]

I wouldn't imagine it's the latter, the whole thing is that those two characters are feeling the same way but I doubt Bill was actually isolated on set on purpose

[@andgate2000]

Thats because she was 17 and everyone else were adults.

[@ADifferentVibe]

she was 17 and her mom was with her through the shoot. I'm sure it was just them doing their things when they weren't shooting and rest of the adult cast/crew did theirs.

[@OathOfDruid]

Apparently it was because Sofia (director) was so focussed on Bill that she forgot about Scarlett. I read that she also didn't mention her when she won the Oscar for best script...

[@azoique]

Absolute gem of a movie. One that leaves you all warm, happy, but a little sad as well.

[@CommentCritic]

This is vlogging 2003 style. I fucking love it.

[@misubi]

My favorite part is that Japanese crew man who says she is so sweet. Sweet child of mine.

[@yuyutubee8435]

It struck me as creepy, given Japan's general fetishization of teen girls.

[@PerryCuda]

1:02 I'm confused. Here's Spike Jonze, and this is October, 2002. The character Ribisi plays is unflattering, and 100% based on Spike Jonze. Also the blonde air head actress is based on Cameron Diaz who suggestively had an affair with Ribisi (Jonze). Jonze and Sofia divorced a year later, following the film's release - September 2003. It's said both he and his friends were incensed by the portrayal. Wouldn't Jonze have read the script in 2002 and known he was about to get put on blast?

[@richardvoncline]

it's interesting right. their relationship must have been falling apart real time. it speaks that he isn't behind the camera in the later half of this documentary though

[@EricMalette]

Yep. Here's the real dig: Scarlet starred in his divorce film that came much later: Her. Also, Rooney Mara was very much supposed to be Sophia.

[@sadskateshop]

This is such a vibe. Hope Scarlett would do similar feel movie, marvel stuff took her time so much

[@temmahadumrongkul6730]

Just cuz you're a "sophisticated cinephile" doesn't mean you have to bring up Marvel in the conversation all the time. lol.

[@temmahadumrongkul6730]

Oh and Marvel didn't "take her time so much", she chose to do be in those movies :)

[@aps2254]

@@temmahadumrongkul6730 It does,there are many actors out there did'nt cast for em' marvel movies cause they might stuck with it, just like chris evans,hard to see him on other movies expect those marvel thing (human torch/captain america)

[@nikitablank4198]

She probably the one with the most lucrative career outside the mcu though? Since iron man 2, she has starred in one of the decade’s best Arthouse film (under the skin) and films in general (Her). Award winning satire (jojo rabbit), auteur drama (marriage story), r-rated action movie making 100x more of it’s budget back (Lucy), a coen brother’s ensemble (hail, Caesar), feel good movie (chef), and one of MCU most memorable movie (TWS). I’d say she’s doing better than most acclaimed actresses outside the mcu even.

[@delrey874]

She was wonderful again at Marriage Story.

[@patriciaanne4126]

My favorite movie!! Adore all of this! Thanks to all who made this magic happen!!! Bill Murray is amazing! Scarlett stunning! Thank you Sophia!!!!!

[@RJ-cq8dd]

[@christin85]

Someone wrote more about the Coppola good luck chant: "This good luck ceremony consists simply in gathering together the members of the cast and, while holding hands, repeating three times the word “puaba.” It seems that the root of this word, written also as Poo-wa-bah, Poo-aba, or Poha-baa, has its origins in a word from the Indian tribe of Shoshone. More precisely the word "Poha-baa" means “doctor-water,” where "Poha" stands for power or magic, while "Baa" is the word that Indians used to call water." --- and then a typhoon arrives in central Tokyo on day 3 :-)

I wish they showed scarlett more

[@sera2775]

Sofia is absolutely stunning

[@ADifferentVibe]

Just one Oscar winning screenwriter filming a documentary on another Oscar winning screenwriter's movie.

[@TheElusivePanda]

Clip after clip of Bill and the crew, you would hardly know Scarlett is in the movie, let alone the co-star. Very weird.

[@mywhychromosome]

I think it's more, choosing what footage they are going to show. So if you have some shots of a very young (17) actress, nervous, unfamiliar with the crew etc, just being serious and a hard worker and trying to get her scenes down, and then you have Bill, infinitely more experienced, but more than that, a gregarious, funny, LOUD guy very familiar with improv, and you've got him improvising, joking around with the crew and extras etc etc, which are you going to show?

[@ADifferentVibe]

@@mywhychromosome True.

[@mywhychromosome]

@@ADifferentVibe Thanks. Maybe this is a weird thing to say "thanks" to, lol, but I say it because even one person at least confirming that my observation made sense on some level is helpful to me, haha

[@joebombero1]

She was deliberately separated from the crew to help create that isolated ennui vibe. Coppala is a genius. It works.

[@mysteryinc8131]

seemed like bill was closer to the crew than scarlett

[@projectcreation]

Yeah, he’s always funny, very loose and talkative. Funny thing, there’s not one single scene in this footage with both Bill and Scarlett together, and Scarlett is missing most of the time.

[@dotbot5789]

Well scarlett was like...10 yrs old...(not literally but you know what i mean)

[@ADifferentVibe]

Well, Scarlett was 17 or 18 when she filmed this movie. She was like a kid and probably the youngest person on set. When not filming, she was with her mom who came with her to Tokyo.

[@Ruperth316]

10:42 Sofia is just a Bill Murray fan with small budget to film him in his natural state. So amazing

[@zjkingsley7]

1000% Spike

[@edwassermann8368]

I wondered how much of Spike's DNA might be in the movie if he was around on set? You know, little suggestions, ideas and nudges in the "right" direction. Not that Coppola needed it, but just simple creative conversations between a filmmaker couple…

[@mywhychromosome]

@@edwassermann8368 I know she denies it, but Giovanni Ribisi's character is TOTALLY Spike Jonze. Supposedly, Anna Faris is a version of Cameron Diaz, and some of the tension there culled from the vibes between the 3 of them
