I saw the film at the market of the berlin international film festival
in february. I found it quiet interesting, even it it was a bit too
long. In my oppinion it dealt with its topic about the sex business in
tokyo better then "bounce ko gals" and gave a better and more critical
view to the life of the people living in and on the streets of tokyo.
The film will also be screened this year at the exground film festival
in Wiesbaden, Germany (16.-25. November 2001; www.exground.com) and next
year at the Nippon Connection film festival (17.-21. April 2002;
www.nipponconnection.de). So anyone interested can get an own oppinion
by viewing the film there.
Best regards,
Holger Ziegler
