VIDEO: Bob Odenkirk Announces Today's AFI Movie Club Pick LOST IN TRANSLATION

Bob Odenkirk announces today's AFI Movie Club selection: LOST IN TRANSLATION.

Watch the announcement below!

The film was honored with an AFI AWARD in 2003 - recognizing it as one of the 10 outstanding films deemed culturally and artistically representative of the year's most significant achievements in the art of the moving image.

Bob (Bill Murray) filming a Suntory whisky commercial was partially inspired by Sofia Coppola's own father, Francis Ford Coppola, making a real Suntory commercial with Akira Kurosawa in the 1970s. In this exclusive AFI Archive video, Coppola talks about casting Murray, her first and only choice for the role.
