Promotional Information

Suzanne Ferriss takes a close look at Sofia Coppola's celebrated Lost in Translation (2003). Mirroring the film's structuring metaphors of travel, Ferris' analysis takes the form of a trip. Throughout, her emphasis is on establishing the film not only as a cinema classic, but as classic Coppola.

Reviews

Ferriss finds precision amid ambiguity in her acute study of Sofia Coppola's second feature. . . . Sharp on the movie-wise banter between Bob and Charlotte, she's equally sensitive to the film's unspoken, unresolved feelings: in Ferriss' reading, Lost unfolds like a pop song, its fragments charged with lingering feeling.
