Child of Man : Sofia Coppola's Lost in Translation

This week on The Pod Charles Cinecast, presented by The Prince Charles Cinema, our hosts Jonathan Foster and Fil Freitas get lost in Tokyo and feel sad about being alone.

It's time for a new arc – Children of Men aka Children of Famous Men aka Nepotism. Over the next four weeks, we will follow four different directors, who are the children of famous directors – picking out one film from each of their catalogues, to see how they stand against their parents' massive shadows. Do they sink or swim?

First up, it's Sofia Coppola – daughter of the legendary Francis Ford Coppola, and we've gone with her 2003 drama LOST IN TRANSLATION, starring Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson. How does this indie darling fare nearly 20 years later? Does Sofia Coppola blaze her own trail, or is she lost in the shadows of The Godfather and Apocalypse Now? Or is the whole premise of this stupid arc lost in translation? Tune in to find out...
