Parrish Art Museum
25 Job’s Lane, Southampton, New York
Directed by Sofia Coppola. Starring Bill Murray, Scarlett Johansson, Akiko Takeshita. In English. 102 minutes. The protagonists of Lost in Translation “develop their relationship in the present tense—they literally learn to live in ‘the now’ by making vivid memories to fall back on in the future … as a means of putting meaningful life back into their respective marriages.” They don’t necessarily solve their problems, but are in the end better able to face them.
From series Films @ The Parrish: Damaged Romanticism. One of four films reflecting the clash between optimism and despair, selected by co-curator Colin Gardner, Professor of Critical Theory and Integrative Studies, University of California, Santa Barbara. Quotations below derive from his exhibition catalogue essay “From Her(e) to Eternity: Time, Memory, and Immanence in the ‘Postmodern’ Romance.”
