konichiwa!
My brother the school teaching DJ is currently in Tokyo living it up in the land of high fashion, higher buildings, exquisite cuisine and ridiculously good crafting supplies I am making do back here in Northcote with the ACMI Japanese Film Festival.
While it might not be a compeltely satisfactory replacement, it will at least buy me some time to eat second rate sushi in a cool dark room away from the Christmas madness that has swallowed most of Melbourne whole... and at the moment i'll take those moments wherever I can get them!
On my must see list is
Detroit Metal City (of course) which is a live action adaptation of a popular manga series that sees a shy and gentle musician pay the bills by becoming the front man for a death metal band called 'Detroit Metal City'. Sounds like heaven. It's on tonight at 7.45
And
The Handsome Suit, A talented yet unattractive and socially awkward man unlucky in love who discovers a magical suit that instantly transforms him into a hunk. Suddenly women are flocking to him and he scores a modelling job in Tokyo's coveted fashion scene. But leading a double life is hard, and ultimately Ohki must choose which persona will bring him true happiness - oh the complexity of this conundrum! What will our hero do? This little gem is screening at 8.40pm Tuesday night.
Both sound Unmissable.
13th Japanese Film Festival at ACMI
