Japanese playing Japanese who can't speak Japanese, and get treated badly by the Japanese for it! 1minutefilmreview: Thanks :) I'm going to check out Hanna & Alice next. :) Soshi: Yeah, I noticed almost immidiatly from my teaching experiences that everyone in the film was Japanese, which kind of put an ironic slant on the whole thing.

We're fans of Iwai too. Don's forget his 'Hanna & Alice' and 'All About Lily Chou-Chou' too, both equally good! Hi, nice review. We’re fans of Iwai too.

I agree, <i>Swallowtail Butterfly</i> was among one of the films I had to watch for my Japanese film module and I enjoyed it thoroughly. For one, I wasn't disappointed or let down in any part of the film. I particularly liked the fact that they had Japanese actors play the part of foreigners? Their jarring accents made the distinction between Japanese and non-Japanese even more pronounced, which was a good move on Iwai's part.
