Japan is just a decor. But what a decor!!!

Rating: 10/10 (21 March 2004)

I watched the film without any influence from anyone. The plot and the actors were absolutely wonderful. I particularly liked the way Japan is described. Personally, I don't think it affects the image of Japanese people at all, it's just a humorous way to illustrate a situation where a man and a woman are getting bored in a world in which nothing is understandable.
In fact, if you like action, suspense and special effects, this is NOT your film. However, even if it looks calm and descriptive, this movie is full of feelings and thoughts. I'm glad to realise that Sofia Coppola's third film is just a work of art! I love it and I hope it will get all the rewards it deserves.
