Lost in Translation

Two lost souls visiting Tokyo -- the young, neglected wife of a photographer and a washed-up movie star shooting a TV commercial -- find an odd solace and pensive freedom to be real in each other's company, away from their lives in America. A mature, semi-arty film that explores themes of alienation and disconnection against a backdrop of cultural displacement in Japan, this cinematic masterpiece delves into the human condition with lyrical, wistful hope.
