M/Other

[Jasper Sharp]

Hello,
Nobuhiro Suwa's 'M/Other' is playing in Amsterdam at the moment, and the
only info I have for it is in the Rotterdam Film Festival brochure. I walked
all the way into town to see it on monday night before seeing that it was
147 minutes long. My cinematic concentration span seldom reaches beyond 2
hours and I had no desire for another 'Eyes Wide Shut' experience so walked
back home to watch 'Eastenders' instead (also I wasn't too impressed with
Takahisa Zeze's 'Hypnotic' which screened the night before, so was easily
tempted into a Japanese film-free night). However, when I read Mark
Schilling's review (in his 'Contemporary Japanese Cinema') of the same
director's '2/Duo' my curiousity was piqued again. So basically what I'm
asking is, has anyone seen it and do they have any opinions?

Thanks

Jasper Sharp
