Sofia Coppola’s film about a fleeting connection captured dread, cosiness and a generation’s attention
is an irresistible vessel for those feelings. If the film were set even five years later, Charlotte would be scrolling on an iPhone. Nowadays, she’d be swiping on an app or else uploading to Instagram about how happy she is while actually being miserable. Frozen in a just-before time,channels a lot of anxiety without any of the tools that amplify those anxieties.
Coppola is not the first Westerner to be inspired and alienated by an Asian city, nor will she be the last. There are justified critiques thatfalls into stereotypical traps, but that is the point: this is a film about lost Americans who barely leave their hotel rooms, not Japanese culture. Besides, it easy to believe that Coppola loves this city.
