The first was <a href=\"http:\/\/fugutabetai.com\/?postid=422\">Kamome Shokudo<\/a>, directed and written by Naoko Ogigami.  I enjoyed it.  The second was &#8220;Glasses&#8221;, also by Naoko Ogigami.  I have seen two of her movies now, and am pretty sure that she has a distinctive, slow, good-hearted feeling movies.  <\/p>\n<p\/>\n<p>This movie was also a good movie.  I am seriously reminded of <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jim_Jarmusch\">Jim Jarmusch<\/a> movies, so I&#8217;m excited to get a few of those and see what R. thinks.  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0097940\/\">Mystery Train<\/a> is pretty high on the list, that is one of my favorite movies (I didn&#8217;t even know it was Jim Jarmusch until many years later.)<\/p>\n<p\/>\n<p>Anyway, I don&#8217;t really know what to say about this movie except that it is very atmospheric, slow-paced, and relaxing.  I came away from it feeling happy and satisfied, and also somewhat confused about the application of <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Chekhov%27s_gun\">Chekov&#8217;s Gun<\/a> to the movie (I was derailed by the Biology teacher information) and now wonder about the validity of <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fabula_and_sujet\">story fabula theory<\/a> applied to modern independent cinema<\/a>.  <\/p>\n<p\/>\n<p>I guess that is one thing that keeps us on our toes; when we go and see a hollywood film, the twists and turns of the plot are expected so much that we can hardly be surprised (or are surprised by the lack of a turn) &#8211; so when you enter into the realm of less constructed (more constructed?) stories that all just breaks down.<\/p>\n<p\/>\n<p>Anyway, good film.  Has a nice Japanese expression in it, which <a href=\"http:\/\/fugutabetai.com\/?postid=423\">managed to cause a minor fight between my wife and I<\/a> (only in the sense that my Japanese sucks, and her randomly generated picture is a totally hilarious bean.)  So, recommended!<\/p>\n<p\/>\n<p>Although honestly, it isn&#8217;t like I&#8217;m going to spend ten or fifteen minutes writing about something sucks on my blohg.
