MitsuyoWatanabe

This is not a mass market film. It is quirky and funny, but satires all the little things that many people hold sacred in their little cities and neighbourhoods. If you like films such as Miss Meadows, The Tao of Steve or Being John Malkovich, then this is likely one you will want to watch. Overall, a thoroughly enjoyable and often hilarious film.
