Me, too.  The intimacy of the photography in Lost in
Translation killed me, in part because find myself
doing a lot of close, interior, fly-on-the-wall
available light shooting.  Yes, I know that L in T was
not shot available light, but much had that look.

Watched Girl with a Pearl Earring twice on an 16 hour
flight (one stop for fuel in Cape Verde) earlier this
summer.  More intimacy, more gorgeous available light
(or the illusion thereof).  Liked the way the film
evoked, but didn't mimic Vermeer.

Humm...  Scarlett Johansson in both movies.  Couldn't
have affected my appreciation of the cinematography,
could it?
