Title: Too exotic
Review: I'm part Japanese but I found this musical is so alien to my American-bred sensibilities that it seemed very strange and creepy. It colorful in a gaudy way with very cartoonish qualities. At least, it has the adorable Zhang Ziyi at the center (she's speaks mostly Chinese in this Japanese film).The best part of the DVD for me was the behind-the-scenes featurette which focused on Zi. I was surprised that she switched to English a few times when talking with her Chinese/Japanese translator. And there's a "cute" moment when a little girl, an extra, speaks to Zi in English (you'll understand the quotes after seeing it).This one, you might want to rent first before deciding to purchase.
