    Ken Ninomya is my new favourite japanese director
    In my "The Limit of Sleeping Beauty" review, I mentioned that it was "A movie that will help people to deal with the death of a loved one using a sexy combination of sound and image." Chiwawa, however, is a friendship story that might convey the same feelings for the death of a friend.

    The introduction of Chiwawa is pretty cool and while the story and themes are somewhat reminiscent of "Spring Breakers", it ends up following a different direction. The story of this character is told by each one of her friends and it keeps getting interesting as we dive deeper into the mind of someone who is seen as just as an instagram celebrity by those who don't know her. Not only her, but there's always something to say about her friends as well.

    It has a lot of that energy of "The Limit of Sleeping Beauty" with all the music and dancing. It's just as frenetic and colorful as that one, with very catchy songs. One more sexy movie from Ken Ninomiya.
