jmovie: Kamikaze Girls
May. 9th, 2009 01:10 amBriefly:
You may recall that I read and adored the book this movie is based on not long ago. (Read it! Readitreaditreadit!) The movie changes some things up, but leaves the base intact. Unfortunately, a large part of the book's appeal is how incredibly strong and engaging Momoko's voice is, and that doesn't carry over as well to a visual medium, though the strange outlook on life and jaded Lolita-ness are still there.
