Saw _Lost in Translation_ last night: very nice film for a rainy night. Went home, programmed into the night, presented results and participated in planning this morning, now comes a little siesta, I think.

I've heard that "Lost in Translation" is supposed to be one of the better films of this year. Would you recommend seeing it in theaters?

Siesta... I've forgotten what those are like. Midterms kill. Hope you enjoyed it. :)

Find a rainy, horrible night, a sentimental friend or two (not sniffly, crying sentimental, just quietly sentimental until you leave the theatre a little wobbly) who lives in a different direction from the theatre than you do ... plan to have a little coffee and superficial banter beforehand, and walk home alone in the rain. This will be the optimal theatre-going experience for the film.

It's a well-crafted thing, understated leads in an overstated backdrop, nicely shot and very well acted... and the few big outdoors scenes will probably need to be a couple stories high to really work. See it in a theatre!
