Released in 2003 or the 9th January 2004 in the UK to be exact. Meant at that point I was only 16 years old and in my first year at college. Although I am not fully sure the first time I watched Lost in Translation, maybe later in 2004? So I was possibly 17 and quite frankly I did not like the film on that first viewing. BUT that makes sense now really in hindsight at that age nothing at happened to me and it wouldn’t be until years later that I would make a full connection with this film and fully realise just how much of a masterpiece it really is.
