I just watched the new movie out TOKYO! at the Berkeley Theater, which by the way, is THE WAY to watch all movies. Think, converted colorful mosque interiors, crystal clear projections, full black leather seats and cup holders that actually hold a smaller cup and not just for the jumbo-extra-large soda cups they sell at AMC...
I think I really wanted to watch this movie, not only for the all-star director list, but also because I realized I didn't know as much about Japanese culture as A and C. Though, if you think about it, the Japanese are pure trendsetters and culture whores, where they seemingly always surprise me with something outrageous and expectant of their ways at the same time. How can I not keep up learning about these people? So, one thing I learned after watching TOKYO! is a glimpse into the subculture of hikikomori where people are shut-in and never leave the confinements of their home. The interior of this mans house is articulate and looks as if it was built with reuse materials. (Uh, HA! actually 11 years of toilet rolls and pizza boxes to be more exact.) In his insanity or paranoia to leave his home, he manages to create this wonderful living space that any green interior architect could take inspiration from.
So, anyway, the main antagonist shuts himself in for 11 years before some incident happens and he meets her...the actress is quietly stunning. I love the proportions of the features of her face.
