My new favorite movie is Sakuran. It is directed by the lovely and incredible Mika Ninagawa, my favorite contemporary photographer. It stars the lovely and talented singer, model and actress Anna Tsuchiya. I want to live inside of this gorgeous movie.

Wow - what an ... um ... interesting place to want to live! Colorful, yes. Beautiful, yes. not jizzed on, well, I don't know! It was a good movie!
I've never really gotten the whole Anna Tsuchiya thing, but have you seen "Shimotsuma Monogatari" aka "Kamikaze Girls"? One of my favorites and also has her as one of the leads. (Of course, I like Kiyoko Fukada better - she's the other half of the lead cast.) It's pretty hilarious and violent. And it's got sweet lolitas and yankees! It's also set in my wife's prefecture and it captures it really well.
I LOVE Shimotsuma Monogatari! It's one of my faves and I even read the novel. Better still is the director's latest, "Memories of Matsuko" starring Miki Nakitani. It's devastating yet gorgeous (more delicious colors and delirious imagery).
