Bad Films

Lost in Translation.
The most tedious waste of time in the world. Yet you make this observation and people say shit like "well if you want car chases and explosions go and watch an action film". The film is lacking any kind of plot, there is no story arc, there is no character exploration, there is no emotion. Sofia Coppola cannot direct. plain and simple. She clearly wanted to do a mood piece, but she has the lumpen bludgeon of Guy Ritchie, when such an exercise needs the deft finesse of Krzysztof Kieslowski.

Kieslowski's great, but he isn't deft. Most of the Dekalog could pass for a film school training manual for directors.
