Why It's In The Book: "Unfortunately, Lost in Translation is not in any of the four editions of 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die that I use as a reference for our little club. Should any of you have an edition with this title in it, it would be most appreciated if you would share the relevant "Why It's In The Book" quote with us. Thanks!" -1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die

"Besides the genius of placing the story in Tokyo this story could easily have become a simple love story of two lonely people, but it is not. They make a bond and they do kiss in the end, but it is an intimacy of the soul, a friendship, they build and what form it has reached and will develop to is a secret between the two of them that we, the viewers, will never know"

"A wonderful little film about the friendships that, though they may be fleeting, have an influence on our lives forever."

Alyson - 9/10
"There’s no real plot to the film, just as most conversations with strangers don’t have much of an arc.  What is important is Bob and Charlotte’s connection in a land of bombarding communication that is lost on them.  It’s the time in their lives where they need each other most, even if it will only last a few days."

Movie Guy Steve - 9/10
"It feels like reality, like a few days sliced from someone’s life. I can give it no higher compliment."

Siochembio - 9/10
"This movie was my early to mid-twenties.  The deep seated denial that I was sad (I wasn’t supposed to be sad, I was in biochemistry PhD program for crying out loud), the feelings of hopelessness and uselessness that almost consumed me, Lost in Translation brings it out in a beautiful, sadly poignant way."
