Lost in Translation

My Bill Murray fetish continues to spur, as I crap on about yet another classic film Lost in Translation. The stunning slow-paced film shows the break down of a young marriage, and old marriage, and perhaps the strangest 'coming-of-age' films ever, Coppola's direction made for fascinating and beautiful shots, representing the Japanese culture in all of their unattainable glory! So many good things can be said about this film; Scarlett Johanssons' insanely perfect features, Bill Murray's ever present cynicism on camera - it does seem like he was perhaps acting out a life extremely closely mirrored to his!, and I have always had a soft spot for Giovanni Ribisi... he is awesome.
And the soundtrack for it was borderline flawless.

Thanks, Sofia. You're the greatest.

Peaches - Fuck the Pain Away
















The Chemical Brothers - The State We're In





Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

From Graceville,
with all my love in the world.
