I feel that The Company and Lost in Translation share a lot in common in their intent as opposed to Gosford Park. It is possible I believe to distinguish significantly Gosford Park as a strongly plot, character driven drama storyline compared to The Company and Lost in Translation which both rely more on atmospheric, less on any actual storyline and instead use the storyline as a way to balance the visuals, the atmospherics and how they impact on the storyline. The background and the foreground in both these movies are equally important as opposed to Gosford Park that depend more on the foreground for its primary impact.
