Classy, funny cross-cultural adventure is Alain Corneau's most accomplished and entertaining film since 1991's "Tous les matins du monde."

Worth watching
Despite some exaggerations it is extremely amusing if you like talking heads -) especially in japanese
A very different type of film that I enjoyed very much. Having watched Murderous Maids Starring Sylvie Testud, I was anxious to see her in something else. This movie is definitely a stretch. The Eastern and Western cultures collide in the work...
Likely to see
Not for me
