User Reviews

Japan's Spanish Apartment

Its a Japanese answer to "L'auberge espagnole".

That's it.

Not really the same issue / story but that's the first thing that pop in my mind when watching Parade.

I've been watching many Japanese film and drama but almost none of them comprise of bunch of people sharing a house together. I don't really get it but perhaps Japanese don't like sharing a house unless in dire stress or consider privacy their top priority?

This film delights me. Perhaps not really original but it's refreshing, coming from Japan.
