Richard Corliss (TIME magazine) says this of Lost in Translation: it ‘revels
in contradictions. It's a comedy about melancholy, a romance without consummation, a
travelogue that rarely hits the road.’
These remarks are wonderfully observed- but I never really believed it was a film
about romance. To me it was friendship. It’s about finding someone when lonely in a
hotel (because hotels are plain lonely when you are on your own!). It’s about
fleeting moments with someone who resets your life batteries.
