There will be an article on Down the Drain in the forthcoming special issue
of Post Script on contemporary Japanese film (Fall 98, I think), if you're
interested.  It's a comedy, shot on very low budget, and I think one of the
most interesting films out of Japan in the 1990's.  It's not a new film, in
fact the Toronto Film Festival debuted it internationally in 1994 or 95,
but its definitely worth a look.
yours,
J. Murphy
