The video for the song "Just Can't Get Enough" was shot in Tokyo. One writer described it as "Lost In Translation with a more thumping soundtrack."

What strikes me about the opening chapters is how templates or patterns of action are established and reenacted through out the film. Like a musical composition the themes in the opening movement are replayed with variations: Bob being chauffeured around Tokyo.....the Suntory people always on hand t...

A man wakes up. Was he dreaming about the woman in the opening shot? Or is she dreaming about him? Later on Catherine Lambert offers a clue: "You stepped out of a dream..." But who stepped out of whose dream? Opium or acid? The beginning of "Girls" reminds me of "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" plus ...

Whenever I see the Focus Features logo I think of it as an out-of-focus shot of the Tokyo neon-scape. The film opens with ambient sound instead of music. There are almost 40 tracks of music in LIT, yet it often feels so hushed and quiet. And the sound design complements the cinematography: muted and...

Bob may have been a lot like Kelly at a similar age and point in his career: fun, shallow, nice (John defends her for being nice). Now he's burnt out, jaded, maybe depressed, lamenting the loss of fun in his life, and reassuring Charlotte that "Mean is okay". They might represent the arc of many or ...

Your post LostCalls got me thinking about other similarities--those between Bob and Kelly. Both star in action movies. She talks about Keanu Reeves at the press conference, he talks about some unnamed actor with the waiter. Both use the expression "Oh my gosh". Both ham it up while karaokeing. She a...

Jumper jumps into LIT
There's a scene in the movie "Jumper" that might be an homage to LIT. One of the characters chases another on foot through the main Shibuya intersection at night. The cinematography is brighter and some of the angles give you a wider perspective of the surrounding buildings. I think it was shot with...

Cool pics LostCalls, I also enjoyed reading your blog. Speaking of cool, did you get to see the Park Hyatt pool? And what was the atmosphere like in the NY Bar? Did it feel like you were in the movie and Bob or Charlotte might walk in at any moment? Also did you find any LIT merchandise at the Park ...

LIT inspired album cover?
If you go to www.amazon.com and type in "cozy endings" you'll see a rather familiar image. Haven't found any interviews with this band, but I'm thinking someone there must be a LIT fan.
