Dog in a Sidecar

Dear diary,

As you might already know, it’s Japanese Film Fest @ GSC this weekend.

They’re screening 8 Japanese films at RM5/seat. Planned to watch a few but did not expect the seats to sell like hotcakes. Only managed to get tix for one of the films but was late for half an hour due to the terrible traffic on the way to One-U, as always.

Dog in a Sidecar talks about the odd summertime friendship between a timid girl, Kaoru and her father’s free-spirited lover, Yoko.

A Japanese indie with a lot of implicit values and no absolute ending, exactly the way I like it to be.

Have not figured why is it called “Dog in a Sidecar” while it’s not really about dogs. I’m sure the wind-bell has its motif since it was shown several times but not sure what.

Film that makes you think.
