Ôdishon, with Ishibashi Ryo and Shiina Eihi. Uh. Whoa? Disturbing. Very, very disturbing. In a sense, it was quite reminiscent to me of Mulholland Drive, both in general character and in specific sequences. White was a really bad choice for subtitles in some scenes, though, although that's a nothing-observation. It's hard to talk about it without giving anything away, so I'll say that it's definitely not for the faint of heart, and I'm torn between wishing there was more depth of story and wondering whether that added depth might have taken away from it. Oh, I suppose also I'd be interested to hear whether people thought this was a feminine-empowering movie, or the opposite - I suspect it could be tricky in that regard, like GI Jane.
