Obitani's A Hair Opera (Mohatsu kageki) is a truly wonderful film: a 
"fake" personal documentary that not only effectively pokes fun at 
documentary codes, but is also a well-constructed "musical."  I like 
Obitani's work (I've done subtitles for him before), but I don't think 
he's quite equalled this since then.
