|  Lost in Translation | JazzHead Oct 6, 2003 2:09 PM | | See it. Sweet, funny, and heartbreaking. Bill Murray is outstanding - the "sad clown" role he's been inching toward for many years ("Groundhog Day," "Quick Change") and came ever-so-close to nailing in "Rushmore." The first scene and (especially) the last are peerless.
Not for the short-of-attention-spans, or those who prefer everything spelled out/spoon-fed/according to formula. It takes its time, lots of quiet spaces - unfolds, rather than unreels.
Can't get it out of my head.
peace,
jh. |
