Saw this movie at the Rotterdam Film Festival and I've never seen so many people walk away before the end of the movie. I think half of the room was gone before the end (and it was quite a big space).
What sounds very promising: Tokyo, goth-girl, cyber, modern youth culture turns out to be a very boring movie concerning the attack on the twin towers, voyeurism, modern ways of communication and the effect it has on modern society. Not very original, cause it's all about these subjects nowadays.
The movie is about a lonely Japanese 'hello Kitty' girl wearing lolita-dresses and she is quite bored. Then she meets a strange guy on the street who has an internetsite where he places his voyeuristic-movies of ordinary people. She gets interested and hooks up with him and together they continue doing all this stuff for the site.
I think the movie tries to tell us how empty our lives are and that we are being ruled by fear and terror. Living our small lives with our narrow minds. But in the end I think the main characters are no better then the ordinary people they secretly film. They are boring as well, doing nothing all day. Instead of trying to make something of their lives they just swallow in their 'knowledge' that everybody sucks. Everybody can do that.
Besides I think that the director tries to tell us too much. You can not make a film about the emptiness of life AND modern society AND voyeursim AND terrorism unless you are one of the best directors in the world, but Yutaka Tsuchiya is obviously not one of them.
