The Glamorous Life of Sachiko Hanai


I have to post about this movie. It's not a great movie, but people should see it anyway. Nevermind, it's pretty great. It's certainly unlike anything I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot. This movie has finally received a U.S. domestic DVD release, so go grab it from the video shop or add it to your Netflix queue right now (if you are over 17). Why? Here's the plot:

The Glamorous Life of Sachiko Hanai is a Japanese film that concerns a not-so-bright "adult" entertainment worker named Sachiko who is accidentally shot in the head during a robbery. The bullet hits her brain in such a manner that she becomes extremely intelligent and starts spouting existential philosophy (usually while she is, um, otherwise engaged with men). Meanwhile, after the robbery Sachiko picks up what she believes is a tube of lipstick. It turns out that she is hunted down by gangsters because of the contents of the lipstick tube. Inside the tube is the cloned finger of President George W. Bush which will be used to set off nuclear weapons. Sachiko finds out what it is and conveniently stores the finger in a safe (and warm) place.

And there's more, but I hate to give it all away.

Be warned, it's a "pink" movie and contains lots of simulation, if you dig.

Here's the official website that contains adult material, so watch out if you're at work! http://www.glamorousmovie.com/

Ahh yes - definitely unlike anything I've ever seen. Before I saw this movie I never realized how much of a, umm, ladies man George W. could be!
