Bud gave me the heads up after seeing it on the telly. Muat turun was available but the bleedin’ subs weren’t in sync.

So, I relented and bought it online. Ahem.

It was a 2004 film called Kamikaze Girls aka Shimotsuma Story (下妻物語), and I’ve to say that it has been a while since I enjoyed a quirky film. The premise of the story (based on a ライトノベル – light novel penned by Takemoto Nobara) revolves around the friendship between Momoko, a lolita aficionado, and Ichigo, a yanki biker girl belonging to an all-girl bosozoku group called The Ponytails. I couldn’t help but to draw comparisons with Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s Amélie to this piece of cinema directed by Tetsuya Nakashima.
