      Now I can die happy
      Amazing! This Nouvelle Vague-influenced Japanese flick contains everything a regular cinephile could possibly want: avantguard kabuki theatre, sloshed japanese men discussing the sexual revolution and a guy chasing his girlfriend with a strap-on dildo through the streets of Tokio. Duh!
