Accurate Period Piece

If you are looking for a cinematic masterpiece, you will be disappointed. If you are looking for a fun movie that captures life in Tokyo in the early nineties this is for you. I was living in Tokyo when the movie was filmed and I think the film captures the spirit of the period and culture perfectly.

The original "Lost In Translation"!

A likable entry in the 80's New Wave/Punk Rock Musical Comedy-Drama genre (in the vein of "Starstruck", "Breaking Glass", "Desperately Seeking Susan", "Smithereens", "The Fabulous Stains", etc.). The somewhat fluffy premise is buoyed by star Carrie Hamilton's winning screen presence (Hamilton employs the the same mixture of goofy charm and genuine warmth that her mother, Carol Burnett, parlayed into a long and successful career). Hamilton is a struggling wannabe rock star who scrapes together enough money to travel to Tokyo at the invitation of a girlfriend. Unfortunately, her flakey friend has flown the coop, and our heroine finds herself stranded in a strange land. Fairly standard "fish out of water" misadventures ensue, including some cross-cultural romance with all the usual complications. For music fans, it is an interesting look at the Japanese music scene circa 1988, and the colorful cinematography showcases all the neon excitement of Tokyo nightlife. One can't help but wonder if Sofia Coppola screened this one while brainstorming "Lost In Translation". Sadly, Carrie Hamilton passed away in 2002. A DVD release would be welcomed.
