Kamikaze Girls

lofisofi

flawed film with pacing issues; still, Nakashima's unique creative vision is incredibly refreshing and keeps me coming back to this stylized, unconventional coming-of-age film set in rural Japan

a.

The aesthetical aspect of the film was highly innovative in the context of cinematic works, but I found myself having problems with the pace of the film, the overwhelming and busy narrative, as well as to a certain extent the one dimensional characters (which i could potentially learn to appreciate on second viewing, given the camp quality of the film).

The colouring of the film is vibrant and over the top much like the characters. Very similar to Memories of Matsuko. Love the eccentricities; randomly flying, Ichiko head-butting Momoko, Momoko's aversion to making friends, the cartoony bits. Tetsuya Nakashima has a real talent.

Definitely flawed, but so entertaining! It's not as good as "Memories of Matsuko", which is the director's masterpiece, but is good nonetheless and funny as hell!

Fantastic Movie about Friendship and Individuality. Very colorful, fast and japanese ;-) Great Soundtrack and Actors. Must watch for all Japan-Lovers!

Definitely one of the finest films I've seen. Amazing cinematography, acting, story, overall look. Definitely going to look deeper into this directors work. 5 stars.
