All About Lily Chou-Chou (Riri Shushu no subete) 4.0 Stars
this film is even a pleasure to watch on mute. i don't recommend doing so though, the music of the film is a character itself, very powerful. oshinari shugo is especially fantastic, incredibly cold, but intriguing and ichihara hayato also performs well, being able to carry moments of silence. shinoda noboru is a very talented dp, this being a standout piece of work (he seems to be an iwai favourite).

christian bale is perfect as patrick bateman and the humour in this film timed wonderfully, as well as the selection of music. marry harron did a fantastic job adapting a seemingly unadaptable and very controversial novel.

"i want more life...fucker!" - probably one of my favourite film quotes. i feel like this film was released ahead of its time, sci-fi fans owe it many thanks (especially you BSG fans!). great sets, perfect soundtrack and standout performances (especially hauer). of all the "cuts" i think i like the internationl version or scott's final cut, so if you haven't seen it i recommend one of those two first. lastly, does anyone else think that pris looks like a member of dir en grey?

i love everything about this fim, first and foremost the cast; aoki's (arai hirofumi) complete emotional hardening is chronicled wonderfully and complimented with the fantastic soundtrack. the opening of the film is also very memorable, one of my favourite scenes EVER! also, one of the final scenes where kujo (matsuda ryuhei) is rushing to the rooftop, is also a favourite, such desperation! this is a great adapation.

fantastic, haunting stories that cover all angles of love and loneliness. kanno miho gives a very tormented performance, her story being my favourite. hisaishi also made a beautiful score (despite his dislike for the screenplay).

the acting in this film is really great. mark ruffalo really takes to toschi seamlessly, this role, in my opinion being his best performance yet. robert downey jr. as avery is believably neurotic with multiple wisecracks that may be lost due to some low talking. i also didn't find this film boring (like many), i really enjoyed the pace (savides did a great job as well!) and at points found it quite suspenseful. not fincher's greatest, but definitely one of my favourite films of 2007.
