That’s so wrong, where is LOVE EXPOSURE??
On an overseas journey. It’s not a mainstream movie.
Awards are fair but predictable. Anyway, happy I am for takako matsu !
Not surprising given the best picture choice (a really boring one!).
I’m surprised Ultra Miracle Love Story is not listed in less-mainstream oriented polls .. my best 2009 japanese film so far.
just seen it was ranked n°2 in eigageijutsu’s
1. “Love Exposure” (Sion Sono)
2. “Ultra Miracle Love Story (Bare Essence of Life)” (Satoko Yokoyama)
3. “Villon’s Wife” (Kichitaro Negishi)
4. “Annyong Yumika” (Tetsuaki Matsue)
5. “I am a Cat Stalker” (Takuji Suzuki)
6. “8000 Miles” (Yu Irie)
(tie) “Brain Police” (?)
8. “Osaka Hamlet” (Fujio Mitsuishi)
(tie) “April Bride” (Ryuichi Hiroki)
10. “Nonchan Noriben” (Akira Ogata)
