In Reply to: Rush, do not just run, to see Lost in Translation. posted by clarkjohnsen on September 14, 2003 at 10:51:08:
The performances were great and much more understated than I expected. Murray's and Johansson's relationship, its alternations between sexual tension, father/daughter intimacy, and friendship is very believable. There were moments when Coppola betrays that she has some maturing yet to do (I have no objections to the opening ass-shot per se, but what's its point in the film? And where went the understatement during Ribisi's embarrassingly patent flirtation, in the presence of his wife whom he egregiously attempts not to introduce, with the vacuous actress?), but on the whole it's a very solid film, and a considerable leap from The Virgin Suicides.

I can see that. But until he finally got around to introducing his wife, the actress seemed to me to be proceeding with the conversation under the assumption that he was still single, an assumption I felt he was doing his best to support. Her response to the revelation that this by-stander was his wife seemed to me to comfirm this, but she may have been responding more to his oversight.
