Captivating cinematography of Tokyo's landscape and cultural divide through the eyes of a twenty year old Tokyo born Belgian woman. Perky, quirky, bubbly, funny and lovely to watch. Based on the book with the same name published in 2007 but the film cleverly integrated artsy nude scenes and news footage of the Fukushima earthquake/tsunami of 2011. Prequel to "Fear and trembling, 2005," which was a delightful satire on the "odd" Japanese business culture based on Nothomb's 2001 book of same name.
