Re: Bob is sitting in the same cab during 3 different sequences
I read somewhere that the limo was an old presidential or diplomats car; i.e. that he had a dedicated car/driver rather than getting a random taxi for each journey.

Re: Documentary - A Life In Japan
Thanks for posting. I’ve watched the first video link. I enjoyed it. Great format of documentary that I don’t think I’ve experienced before; getting viewpoints from a dozen very different and interesting people (in this case foreigners living in Japan, talking about the early days, transitions, stru...

Apparently he dated Sofia for a couple of years; after watching the film a few times, he tried to bump into her as often as he could to try and court her. Great snippet of an interview with him on it here: https://youtu.be/yIGxySfbzRg?si=7wJIpLk3Ew4Tmcyj He’s got a fantastic take on the scene with t...

Asperger’s/Autism & Lost in Translation
I’ve watched Lost in Translation an absurd number of times over the decades. A comfort blanket of sorts; a film that consistently calms me. I was recently diagnosed with ASD (more specifically Asperger’s, in old-tongue) and alexithymia. I’ve been wondering whether some of what makes the film so rewa...

Re: CHAPTER 4: Suntory Time
I feel like I’m walking through the ruins of an old city of “my people”, and here stands a partially built cathedral. It is wonderful to see, but also a bit upsetting that the city has ceased.

On the Rocks - Sofia Coppola film starring Bill Murray
I am quietly excited by this. There are some echos. Absent father and faded playboy (Felix) re-enters daughters life at her request. She (Laura) is in a stagnant situation with her husband and asks for Felix’s help to find out if he’s having an affair. Father and daughter rekindle their relationship...

Re: the Introduce Yourself thread
Hi all, I created an account more than a decade ago, and have jumped on every now and then to have a quiet wander. I first saw LiT in 2004, as a well-travelled 16/17yo. It had an immediate impact. I remember watching it with the rest of my family on DVD (there was a mixed reception). And then, immed...

Re: New EP inspired by the movie LiT
What a lovely effort and tribute. I’ve listened to all 3 tracks a few times, now. Initially, I wasn’t a big fan (aside from the LiT connection), but they have grown on me a bit. I thought the most helpful thing I could do was give constructive feedback - it’s something I always seek. Please feel fre...
