I watched Transliator, with Russell Crowe sitting at a desk in the middle of the Colosseum in Rome, smashing his keyboard because Proz was loading extremely slowly.
Good movie.

Some years ago, I watched, and liked, a Sidney Pollack film with Nicole Kidman and Sean Penn tittled «The Interpreter», which was the first film ever to be shot inside the U.N. Recently, I watched, not until the end as I disliked it, a Régis Roinsard film with Lambert Wilson tittled «Les Traducteurs».

"The Interpreter" and a very nice Italian movie with Monica Vitti as a freelance translator at home, with a fantastic Alberto Sordi "Io so che tu sai che io so"

I'm not aware of any such movie.
I did watch few movies involving interpreters or translators, but none of them was ABOUT interpreting or translating.

"The Interpreter" with Nicole Kidman and Sean Penn, which is a good thriller with some situations that could actually happen.
"Lost in Translation" with Bill Murray, but I didn't like much that movie, thought it was lame.
I read that "The Translators" is a very good French movie, I will check it out.

A multilingual film that is especially interesting for translators/interpreters, in my view.
It is not about translation or interpreting, but is great for studying subtitling, dubbing, and cross-language nuances.
It includes spoken English, German, Hebrew, French, Arabic and Greek. A few references about Spain and Portugal too.

| Excelent book and movie ("Arrival") | Nov 11, 2025 |
I downloaded the book, "Story of your life" by Ted Chiang, in PDF format. If interested, just drop me a message.

Yes, I’ve seen films addressing translation/interpreting. The Interpreter (2005) centers on a UN interpreter entangled in a political conspiracy, showcasing the ethical dilemmas of language mediation. The Silent House (2010) uses a deaf character’s struggle to communicate, highlighting the importance of sign language as a "translation" of silence into expression. Arrival (2016) explores linguistic relativity through alien language interpretation, emphasizing how translation shapes perception...

Arrival (2016) explores linguistic relativity through alien language interpretation, emphasizing how translation shapes perception. These films reveal translation as both a technical skill and a bridge for empathy, often fraught with ambiguity. They underscore how interpreters navigate cultural, emotional, and political nuances, making language a tool for connection—or manipulation. ▲ Collapse
