Have just caught up with "Lost in Translation" on television....and wish we hadn't.

I cannot remember the last time I came across such an over-hyped piece of pretentious nonsense as this film. The story-line - such as it was - was trite in the extreme, and Bill Murray was obviously so fed up with the whole farrago that he simply gave up and sleep-walked through his role.

How on earth anyone can praise this film with equally pretentious points of analysis, and the film receive so many so-called "honours", is completely beyond me.

A complete waste of time for the viewer and all concerned in its production.
