Director: Masayuki Miyano. Review: Adam Wing. Based on Hideo Okuda’s collection of short stories, Lala Pipo (taken from the English phrase "a lot of people") is the debut feature from Masayuki Miyano, who worked on Tetsuya Nakashima’s Kamikaze Girls and Paco and the Magical Picture Book. Hiroki Narimiya headlines, alongside Yuri Nakamura, Mari Hamada, Tomoko Murakami, Takashi Yoshimura and Sarutoki Minagawa. Six characters, six stories, ninety minutes of comedy heaven. If you’re a fan of Nakashima’s quirky cinematic offerings, Lala Pipo should be right up your street. It bares all the hallmarks of a Tetsuya Nakashima picture, no great surprise really, he did write the screenplay after all. Colourful, comical, hypnotic and bizarre, you’d be forgiven for thinking that Nakashima directed it himself. Never a bad thing in my book, Masayuki Miyano has certainly chosen wisely, imitating one of the most exciting directors in the world today.
