I did this last week, when I was healthy.

Good thing too, since the only cooking I'm doing this week is running a temperature...

Lost in Translation

The film is slow. Glacially slow. If bonacorsi and I hadn't been both battling pneumonia, I suspect we would have turned it off after half an hour. Now, I'm not an automatic hater of slow films - I love Room With a View, for example; and the wife likes many of the Jane Austin adaptations, none of which can be considered "speedy".

On the other hand, the aforementioned movies all had something this one lacked: a plot. And characters!
My two-word summary of the film: Nothing happens.

It's not a bad film, but it is 90 minutes that was not spent well, and I'll never get them back.

For the record? Even if this film was screamingly bad, Sofia Coppola would still be a better director than she was an actress.
