the Emperor's Clothes?

Rating: 1/10 (17 February 2004)

Am I the only one not to have been mesmerised by this film? I spent the whole time watching it wondering when something was going to happen! Who is kidding who here? All this talk of 'sublety' etc. just disguises the fact that nothing actually happens! This film is a BIG WASTE OF SPACE. As a travel program on Japan it works well, fair enough. It makes you feel that you've really been there, very well photographed. But... I want a story, some acting, something to happen, some kind of sensation. Not slow, slow, dull, deary, boring nothingness. Excuse me this is just an unbeliebvably hyped up pile of rubbish.
