Der Siebente Kontinent
This was really great. It has a minimalist approach to the shots & cinematography that I thought was fantastic. Most scenes are slightly vague and very deliberate, which I think can sum up the whole film. No real soundtrack and if a scene can play out in one shot, it usually will. The presentation(or lack thereof) made it more striking, powerful even. It is pretty slow and you have to pay attention since non sequitur scenes play out the same as key points.

bounce go kals is drama movie about friendship and kogal culture, which is like high school girls whos into ralph lauren school uniforms and versace makeups and to live that lifestyle they sell dating services, sex, panties, make fetish movies etc. basically high school prostitutes.
2 girls are trying to help this girl who is going to move to new york on next morning, but got robbed during semi voyeur fetish movie shooting. so she needs some cash quickly. but yakuza doesn't like school girls in sex business and one of these girls made a deal with yakuza dude that she and her friends are going to stop all their businesses. so after couple if incidents girls got yakuza on their asses.
great movie. interesting take on shibuya street culture and that kogal thing. good acting. fun to watch and had same kinda vibe that kids have in a sense. starts with shoe fetish scene, but thats all exploitation this movie have. got some really horrible music like japanese pop reggae.
and in japan kids were wearing japanese raw denim with air maxes, m65 jackets and polo sweaters in -97

Just watched a movie called Vengeance... Its about a french ex assasin who hires 3 triads to assasinate the people who kill his wife and kids... Hella good movie and the best thing is that it dosent make you read hella subtitles, without being too simple. One of those movies thats better with less dialouge, keeps you interested. I highly reccomend it, i watched on ifc this morning, great crime drama with lots of stylistic action
