Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Sofia Coppola has, with two elegant movies, proved herself a talented director with a keen eye for interior life. She's also got great ears. For Lost in Translation, the story of a May-December friendship in Tokyo between two displaced Americans, the score is a tonic for jetlag. Coppola prescribes a dose of shoegazer pop, from My Bloody Valentine's chiming "Sometimes" to Jesus & Mary Chain's fuzzed-out "Just Like Honey." The music nails the hazy conscious state of actors Bill Murray (as a movie star with a midlife crisis) and Scarlet Johansson (as an emotionally marooned twenty-something). It also provides a safe, warm envelope in which they can enact their overseas adventures. Working with producer Brian Reitzell, whose band Air scored her previous Virgin Suicides, Coppola lured Valentine's Kevin Shields into providing several slices of dreamy indie-rock and sonic wallpaper, as stylish as it is formless. There's a welcome bit of Japanese goofiness, a funhouse-mirror reflection of U.S. folk-rock courtesy of early-1970s band Happy End. And a "hidden" track provides the audio of Murray, in the film, doing his sleepy karaoke version of Roxy Music's "More Than This." --Marc Weidenbaum

Fairly mellow..........2007-06-07
For some reason, I bought this soundtrack thinking that it contained Bill Murray's singing from the karaoke bar scene. I actually like his version better than original singers'. Lack of paying attention on my part. I thought one soundtrack kinds melt into the next....meaning, they all sounded the same after a while. But still decent to listen to if you want to relax and mellow out.
Lush and atmospheric.......2007-03-19
"Lost in Translation" is one of my personal favorite soundtracks from the past five years. The soundtrack consists of an array of modern electronica artists from Air to Squarepusher, with a smidgeon of indie rock by Kevin Shields (of My Bloody Valentine fame) and The Jesus and Mary Chain. The moodiness of songs like Sebastien Tellier's "Fantino" and Air's "Lost in Kyoto" provides the lush, atmospheric soundtrack to the scenes involving Bill Murray and Scarlett Johanssen. Some people might find this soundtrack bloody boring but I loved it because the music actually made the film what it was. I only wish that Sophia included the song by Peaches from the stripclub scene on the soundtrack but overall the soundtrack is a classic to me. I don't think the film would have been as good with any other music.
highbrow elevator music.......2006-08-18
Completely devoid of melody and intricacy, the Lost In Translation soundtrack sounds like someone allowed their inebriated 93-year-old uncle to wander unsupervised into an electric organ store, where he slowly falls asleep face down on a keyboard, drooling pea soup into the circuitry. This is glorified New Age music for underpowered karaoke machines, and it would put even Yanni to sleep.
music to get lost by..........2006-07-08
If you have seen this movie and looking up this soundtrack, chances are you have been affected by it as much as I and many others have. The movie itself is best viewed late at night, in a dimly lit (not dark) room, especially after a difficult day at work. This soundtrack is best listened to in a car, again at night, while flying aimlessly down a dark highway, lit only by the occassional headlamps of passing cars, or the streetlights of a nighttime cityscape. You WILL feel as if you are half asleep in a taxi with Bob and Charlotte after a long nite out in Tokyo. Absolutely fantastic and flawless collection of sonic atmosphere. Dig in...
Music for Strangers in a Strange Land.......2006-07-07
I can't say enough good things about the film, "Lost in Translation". It's a nearly perfect comedy-drama that conveys the feelings of loneliness, homesickness and isolation, yet also has so much to say about close relationships that can form circumstantially. It's a great offbeat love story that doesn't go for the cheap resolution, but develops the platonic friendship of the main characters beautifully. And it has one of the greatest screen kisses in recent memory. (After all, what middle-aged man like me doesn't fantasize a relationship, even a platonic one, with Scarlett Johansson?) The soundtrack is spot-on, conveying the urban Weltschmerz that pervades this moody, and by turns funny and touching, movie. Kevin Shields, late of My Bloody Valentine, does a particularly good job capturing the mood with several songs, led by "City Girl". There are a number of other fine tracks throughout this CD, performed by such alternative pop-rock acts as My Bloody Valentine, Death in Vegas, The Jesus and Mary Chain, the 70's Japanese group Happy End, and the techno band Air. They set the tone with fuzzy, slightly distorted, and ambient tunes. And if you're patient enough to wait through about 10 minutes of "dead air", you can hear a "hidden track": Bill Murray's late-night-weary karaoke version of Roxy Music's "More than This" from one of the many memorable scenes of the film.

Nice collection of movie stills.......2003-12-31
This book version of the soundtrack album, of which only 2,000 were made, consists of numerous stills from the movie, along with limited narration and pieces of dialogue. No additional information is provided, e.g., comments from the cast or crew, which leaves this really as a work of art in its own right rather than as some sort of supplement. The fact that some of the dialogue differs from that in the film (and that at least one scene is present in the book that we don't see on screen) makes this even more true. (It looks as if this book was prepared using the footage before it was edited?)
If you loved this movie like I did, pick this up if you can find it!
