Subdued humour, great acting, mature look at a short lived relationship with a lot of emotional resonance. Sofia Coppola's films have been hit/miss for me so far, but this one is definetely hit.

And it's so beautiful looking!
Spoiler for screen shot 1:

Spoiler for screen shot 2:

I don't even really laugh that much at the movie, but it's just so fun and satisfying to watch for other reasons that I don't care if I laughed harder at Borat or The Hangover. I've watched those as much as I need to (once) but I could still see Lost in Translation again.
