Kamikaze Girls : 5 of 5
2.20.2006 10:07 PM \| Link	What an absolutely fantastic, hilarious, beautiful, quirky, touching, heartwarming movie! I first heard about Kamikaze Girls from an article in Shojo Beat, so I put the DVD in my Netflix queue just because I thought it sounded interesting. Now, after enjoying every minute of it, I want to buy the DVD and watch it again! The story began as a best-selling novel in Japan, which has since spun-off into a manga version, as well as this amazing film. The story is about two strange girls - one is obsessed with Rococo culture and wears frilly dresses (Japanese "Lolita" style), while the other is a tough biker gang girl (Japanese "Yanki" style), and eventually they discover how similar they are and the importance of friendship. The film is full of crazy techniques such as quick editing, intense colors, animated sequences, unexpected flashbacks, talking directly to the audience, and so on, and all of this completely made me laugh out loud - I just didn't want it to end! The actresses playing the main characters are fantastic - of course, they're beautiful, but they also give excellent performances with comic timing. They can also pull off the emotional scenes as well! The soundtrack is really cool (but I can't find the CD available online!), and it was a blast to listen to the Japanese, which includes lots of rough-talking street slang that was fun to experience. I'm totally in love with this movie - I'll definitely be buying it soon! Labels: dvds
