No resolution seems to have been reached in that movie. Even though in reality conflicts don't always get resolved, I guess I'm just so used to the closure that you get during most films that I have a hard time with "Lost In Translation." Though it did have some cool scenes. (I really liked the scene where Bill and Scarlett went out partying.)

You can just imagine a resolution : when he's back home, he realizes she slipped her phone number in his pocket, he calls her, they fuck two weeks non stop, then leave their husband/wive and go on a reunion tour in order to buy themselves a house on the beach.
Let there be loooooooove. God bless Snitz. |

I'm responding to a message that's 2 months old, not sure Floop will see this... Floop, are you talking about "Choses Secrètes", the French movie? I can't believe it was released in the USA. That was an awesome movie. I usually dislike French cinema, but I got free tickets for this film and I absolutely loved it. My 2nd fave 2002 movie.

I agree the movie is over-rated. It’s a very good movie, not a great movie, not a best-picture-contender movie. But, alot of you guys who say the movie is crap are just not judging the movie objectively. You personally, must not be fans of sublte and slow-paced, which is fine. There is actually quite alot going on in this movie, it’s just not big car chases and explosions, that’s all. Everything happening is happening inside the character’s minds. Great writing for sure. As far as I’m concerned the less dialog in film the better. It’s a visual medium so the more story you tell through images the better. If you want snappy dialog read an Elmore Leonard novel. Again, I definitely don’t think this is a “great” film, it needs more drama for that, but I do think it is very good for the story it sets out to tell.

viliande,
yeah, CHOSES SECRETES! great film. it was released in 2003 here, so i consider it among the 2003 releases.
totally over the top, absurd and surreal (not to mention super sexy).. but very thought-provoking.. i loved it.
reminded me of Luis Bunuel in a vague way.. |

That's great. It's hard to find someone who's seen this film in France, so I wouldn't never have guessed it would get a release in the USA.
I know someone who was in school with one of the girls (the blonde one), and now whenever she sees her she can't help thinking about the movie and the girls having lesbian sex. That must be pretty embarrasing.
