Golden Globes voters - who they are is a bit of a mystery, but no matter - cited "Lost in Translation" as the best comedy film of 2003.
Now if they'd told me it depicted an almost-affair sensitively, I would have assented.
Even if they'd praised its pretty pictures of Tokyo.
But it could not have been the best comedy. It wasn't a comedy.
I know because I laugh at comedy. And I never did at "Lost in Translation."
The best I could do was smile a few times.
Oh. I see. The humor got lost in translation. But from what language?
