i cant say bad things about the skills of beat takashi, but he seems to star in all the films he makes. its seeing him thats the problem. i cant explain it.
anyway, i watched 4 japanese films over the past few days.
has anyone seen blind beast?
if not, go and see it right away. i really loved it. i dont wanna give anything away. id recommend watching it with out reading anything about it first.
i also saw swing girls and waterboys, both by the same director, both almost exactly the same plot. one is about boys and sychronised swimming, the other about girls and a brass band. neither did it for me. i watched them because the director made a fucking great comedy that i already mentioned in this thread. my secret cache.
