Lost in Translation: an accurate portrayal
It's too "accurate."

Lost in Translation

interview /05.02.2004

Acclaimed director and famous daughter Sofia Coppola talks ... about family, Tokyo and how her new film really isn't about her own failed marriage...
...We turn to the character of the hotel bar singer, washed up and torturing Scarborough Fair.
"She's the real singer in the bar," points out Coppola. It's my turn to look incredulous.
"I know," she smiles. "It was a little bit delicate, but I thought she was a good sport about it."
...If the satire in Lost in Translation is unflinchingly sharp, Coppola can do subtle, too. The timid love story between Charlotte and Bob is tender, poignant and mercifully chaste..."So no, there was no sex scene that we cut out for the DVD."
