Movies like Lost in Translation?


I am looking for movies that leave an ache in your soul similar to this movie. Movies like Lost in Translation in regards to the characters isolation and loneliness that sets the tone for the movie. It is just breathtakingly beautiful and I was wondering is there similar movies to Lost in Translation?

Thanks for your help.

There is only a split second between existing and being a mere memory.

Last Tango in Paris. Can't believe it wasn't mentioned, maybe it's not so similar. ;)

I like that boulder. That is a nice boulder.

I found Anomalisa to be very similar in some regards.

Both are about a depressed man, completely alienated from their families.
Both men are fairly successful in their respective fields of work.
Both are staying in a hotel, spending their nights in the bar, lonely until they find a woman they form a special connection with.
And in both cases it doesn't last.

"Hold on, boys! I, for one, would like to hear what the blood-spattered young lady has to say."

And let's not forget both movies are just beautiful to look at! (although in very different ways)

One that hasn't been mentioned is "The Way." It's a similar type of "Road Movie" where strangers are together on a journey. It's gorgeous film.

Once. It's not a fish out of water movie, but it has the isolation and loneliness vibe.

Copenhagen. Seriously. Isolated & lost man in love with a younger woman. Great acting.
