Due for release March 9th, 2023:

'In this close look at the multi-award-winning film, Suzanne Ferriss mirrors Lost in Translation’s structuring device of travel: her analysis takes the form of a trip, from planning to departure. She details the complexities of filming (a 27-day shoot with no permits in Tokyo), explores Coppola’s allusions to fine art, subtle colour palette and use of music over words, and examines the characters’ experiences of the Park Hyatt Tokyo and excursions outside, together and alone. She also re-evaluates the film in relation to Coppola’s other features, as the product of an established director with a distinctive cinematic signature: ‘Coppolism’. Fundamentally, Ferriss argues that Lost in Translation is not only a cinema classic, but classic Coppola too.'

Any new insight into the filming would be particularly interesting - the author has produced two other works on Coppola and perhaps the BFI name has opened a few doors.

I ordered my copy and got it last week!!!
I haven't read it all yet but I pick it up and open it to random pages and just start reading!
I'm enjoying it! I'll be taking it with me on a trip (not to Japan ) soon and will read it then!

Here is a photo of it I took with a folder and tape to show the size.
Anyway tell your friends about it!
I bought it on the publisher's site as opposed to Amazon because it's possible the author makes a higher commission there.

This looks wonderful! Thank you for sharing this with us! Her book called The Cinema of Sofia Coppola looks interesting, too!
