For years, I held firm to my belief that Sofia Coppola would be the first woman to win an Academy Award for Best Director, but alas Kathryn Bigelow ruined my prediction. Coppola could easily have won for Lost in Translation -- her work is just that good. She manages to capture the loneliness and anonymity of city life, and draws out of Bill Murray the performance of his career. Too bad Sean Penn gave a slightly better performance that same year, or Murray wouldn't still be hunting for that elusive Oscar. Lost in Translation is one of those movies that stays with you long after the credits cease to roll. |
Lost in translation was great, I definitely want to see it again some day.
I don't mind Kathryn Bigelow winning the Acedemy Award for best Director, but she should have gotten it sooner. Then Coppola could have gotten it for Lost in translation. Bigelow is coming up in my list soon, not for the hurt locker though.
Bill Murray did an awesome job, the scene with the treadmill still makes me laugh.
