well, many critics were pretty negative about it. I guess, I'll have to
give it a try...Is it really a Japanese-French co-production, or just a French
production using some Japanese actors? That is my souvenir from the ads they ran
when the movies came out.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>On a coincidental note, I'm just watching 'Wasabi', a Japanese-French
co-production. It's very much a pop culture view of Japan, but it's a Luc Besson
production starring Jean Reno, which means it's probably one of the most
high-profile European-Japanese co-productions of recent years.</DIV>
