Both Sofia Coppola’s LOST IN TRANSLATION and Spike Jonze’s HER are love stories unique to our modern, over-populated, connected-but-not-connecting society.
Both tell of emotionally isolated people scorned by love seeking to reestablish their hearts in hostile environments.
Both use the metropolis as a counterpoint and augmentation of their central characters’ loneliness.
Both star Scarlett Johansson.
Viewed from a certain perspective, the films can be seen as counterpoints, two sides of the same love story, or at least two chapters within it.
Coppola and Jonze were married from 1999 until 2003. LOST IN TRANSLATION was released in 2003. HER was released in 2013.
