Rowan Tree and Red Thread

Saw Lost in Translation last night on DVD. I enjoyed it, although it was as slow-moving as other people said it was. The comedy elements of culture shock in the first half fell away as the movie progressed and it focused more on the relationship between Charlotte and Bob (Scarlett Johansson and Bill Murray) with a fairly nicely played knife-edge of 'will they, won't they' in the unstated sexual attraction. Murray and Johansson were very good, but I felt the slip in Bob's fidelity with the bar-singer was a slightly jarring. Believable enough, I suppose, but it felt a little abrupt. A good film nonetheless.
