a successful 2005 Japanese film based on the popular Manga of the same name.
I throughly enjoyed it and thought it was a good introduction into the story.
The Ren/Nana storyline got a bit too much near the end though
but it all worked out with "Hachi" coming home.
Shouji's story was pretty awesome especially when it all broke down.
Really good live action film.
I heard Nana 2 wasn't as good so I guess I won't be watching that anytime soon.
good shit over all.
as far as Jarmusch goes, i've seen Ghost Dog, Night on Earth and Stranger Than Paradise in full
and just added this movie to the list yesterday night.
was definitely not disappointed. it was exactly what i expected from another early Jarmusch film.
Tom Waits is classic as Zack the DJ. Lurie is Lurie, slick and cool. and Benigni.. oh boy.
good shit.
