I am looking for movies that leave an ache in your soul similar to this movie. Movies like Lost in Translation in regards to the characters isolation and loneliness that sets the tone for the movie. It is just breathtakingly beautiful and I was wondering is there similar movies to Lost in Translation?
Thanks for your help.
There is only a split second between existing and being a mere memory.
Lost in Translation is my all time favorite movie, and I don't see this ever changing. While the below movies don't resonate emotionally with me like Lost in Translation does, I feel that they all are quiet movies that deal with loneliness and have that same surreal, dreamy tone and beautiful visuals.
Paris, Texas
Fallen Angels (1995) <------ end scene in this is on par with the final hug scene in Lost in Translation
Chungking Express
Days of Heaven
3-Iron (2004)
All the Real Girls
and more recently, Spike Jonze's "Her".
I was just logging in here to say "Her"! Maybe it's the Scarlett connection, but that movie DEFINITELY has this vibe.
shareThe ones listed above, and in addition, Sofia Coppola's "Somewhere". Chris Evans' debut feature also takes from LiT quite a bit, it's called Before We Go.
shareI have two movies to add:
In the mood for love (2000)- A lot of similarities between the two movies
Ikuru (1952) - lonliness is a key theme in both and falling in love with someone younger- both are heartbreaking.
Carol
Her
Midnight in Paris
Crazy Heart
Up in the Air
(500) Days of Summer
Brokeback Mountain
Sideways
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Life is Beautiful
Il Postino: The Postman
Ghost
Cinema Paradiso
A lot of good recommendations from others.
I'd like to add Cairo Time (Ruba Nadda, 2009).
First movie I thought of was 'Closer' with Jude Law and Natalie Portman. If you liked Lost in Translation, you'll absolutely love Closer.
