Lost in Translation
Yet another film that I knew of, had seen some scenes from but never watched from start to finish.
Call it my film education, if you like. Therefore with all the hype through the years this is a 'must see' film.
What a disappointment then. Great soundtrack but a weak plot, distasteful (by today's standards) storyline and bizarre action. There is little of merit. I like Dustin Hoffman, and he gives a decent performance but generally this is a film stuck in an American 60s haze.
If it wasn't for Simon & Garfunkel it really wouldn't be much of a film.
Watch it if you are a film buff or fan of Hoffman otherwise don't bother. It certainly isn't a 9 or a 10 but not bad enough to rate really low. A period piece best left alone.
