Lost in Translation is a film released in the United States on October 3, 2003. It was the second writing and directorial effort of Sofia Coppola, after The Virgin Suicides. It was nominated for four Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actor for Bill Murray, and Best Director for Sofia Coppola. Coppola won Best Original Screenplay.
On its surface, Lost in Translation is a movie about culture shock between East and West, yet this reveals itself as a metaphor for more existential themes of alienation and loneliness and alternatively, companionship. The film explores how these themes combine at certain stages in life, against the background of highly modern Japanese cityscapes. The film is Rated R in the United States, 15 in the United Kingdom and PG in Australia.
