A view into the Gothic Lolita Japanese movement
31 January 2007
It's a Japanese movie. You may find the acting a bit caricatural or extreme, but I guess this is due to the history of Noh theater strongly present in Japaneses culture. Past this possible barrier, the movie itself is entertaining. The two main characters are played deliciously by remarkable actresses (again, considering that they are acting in the Japanese style).

The movie immerses you into the Gothic Lolita culture, as the heroin is the typical representative of that movement. Lots of insights into the whys and hows of that culture. There is also a fun vision of the Japanese punk subculture, represented by the Yankis.

It's a comedy, so you laugh or smile a lot. But the above mentioned aspects also make it a very interesting movie.

I'll watch it again. More than a few times.
