Chicken Broth Preservative

Detective Story



Original title: Tantei Monogatari
Country: Japan
Year: 2007
Directed by: Takashi Miike


Raita Kazama ( Kazuya Nakayama) is a private detective a bit 'outside the lines, a sort of Japanese Magnum PI Ferrari and without luxury. Raita Takashima ( Kuroudo Maki) is office worker, an expert in computers and hackers mid-level, quiet, sober, dutiful. Two completely different men find themselves not only to share the same name .. but also to become neighbors in one of the now dilapidated buildings so dear to the usual horror film.
What Miike is not a classic horror title, is not even a detective story and can not be defined even comical, despite the continued presence of scene, battute e personaggi che di ridicolo hanno davvero tutto.
La trama si sviluppa attorno ad una serie di omicidi piuttosto cruenti, un ufficio di polizia che brancola nel buio buttandosi alla persecuzione di 4 sospettati a caso, fra cui il nostro Raita detective. L'uomo, innocente, parte così in una rocambolesca ricerca del vero colpevole aiutato dall'assistente Nagamine e dall'involontaria partecipazione del vicino suo omonimo.
A fare da sfondo ..la figura inquietante e grottesca di un artista un po' (tanto) sessuomane e attratto dall'occulto, fedele seguace del pensiero di Rudolf Steiner (leggasi ossessionato da..) e osannato dai critici d'arte come genio incompreso dell'epoca contemporanea.
Non sta a me svelare il finale, worthy of the best American soap opera .. with twists and twists from vaguely paradoxical, to M. Night Shyamalan.

Miike surprising, haunting, fun, entertaining and leads one to think. All in one film. Even if I find Tantei height of many of his other works, it is a tribute to genre cinema that finds space in the Saturday night cold and tasteless for those who can not leave the house. A film scartabilissimo, with clear drops of inspiration ("homages" to films like The Silence of the Lambs , officially) and discounted lines, which help to significantly reduce the credibility of Japanese cinepanettoni.

Negligible.

Rating: 5

Christening Cards What To Write Godmother

Pasticcino Waiting ... Long live the caterpillar


temperatures that are more myths .. the days are much longer than you expect .... trying desperately calling on the cool autumn colors and flavors of autumn table in home dinners with our friends ..
The presence of George begins to be manifest not only in the evidence of my stomach that receives it .. is now present in all our days, Matt never forgets to give him cuddles, before going to school in the morning, or when he returns in the afternoon or evening before going to bye .. there he is clinging to the belly to give a pelvis to the little brother ..
... even Dad is full of attention to him .. all reciprocated by George seems to recognize that its time to wonder habits .. .. .. his voice and his touch answering in his own way ..


My cravings while increasing as the belly .. where is our beloved Pasticcino.


Waiting is wonderful .. like to hear it grow, incorporate the strength of her moves that increases with time of day. There are moments where I wish time could fly to see his little face .. keep your finger in her hand, kiss his feet and adore the scent of her skin, seeing the expressions of Matt at his side .. and there are of istanti in cui vorrei fermare il tempo..perchè questa gravidanza è trascorsa finora talmente in fretta che ho paura di non riuscire a dire ..a preparare..a fare tutto quello che vorrei per lui.
