Fukada Kyōko, who might actually be the most angelic person alive, doesn’t even speak a word in this movie, which I was grateful for as she was so stunningly beautiful without her cute voice that I may well have died if she spoke.
For whatever angelic purposes us mere mortals can never understand, an angel looks down from above on the humans below with love and intrigue. This particular angel decides to make herself known to a chosen few that for various reasons need her beautiful spirit to help them through their troubles.
We follow a young child and her father and father’s girlfriend, two sisters, a bullied school girl, and a shop boy who falls for a girl looking for her lost cat.
The angel turns up in a nightclub and steals the boy’s lime gin, then becoming attached to the drink and later stealing it from a pair of sisters (plunging them into a paranoid confusion of who the hell keeps drinking the drink left on the table).
Of the child, father, and girlfriend, it is the child who can see the angel – and at one point they have a little bizarre musical number while they go flying off into the sky.... I wasn’t sure what the hell was going on then but it was in keeping with the oddness.
It is a pretty film and basically there is nothing else to say but that it has Fukada Kyōko playing an angel. What else do you need to know?
My favourite bit is when she finds a little plushie of
I like how cat like she is, I died of cuteness over and over again. I have nothing to say – this post is really just for the pretty screen shots – she is so beautiful.
If I can ever bring myself to finish the last episode of friends I will blog that with pictures as she looks adorable in that too. She will brighten up this blog with her innocent pure cute massive eyes and warm smile.
I swear she is an actual real angel.
I should explain something about the film, but nothing much really happens. Plus I’m listening to sorashige book at the moment so I’m a little distracted by Shige laughing at nothing like an utter moron as per the norm.
But back to the point, nothing really happens, it isn’t really tense or one of those movies that throws you up and down as the characters struggle through their lives – yes they are each going through their owns problems but it fades into the background, over shadowed by the non gay fuwa fuwa and blindingly adorable light shining around the cutest actress in the world (with the possible exception of Nagasawa Masami) I just love this girl for roles like these. I don’t think it gets much more fitting than this.
Ah this really isn’t a review it is a rant about how cute Fukada Kyōko is, I should probably leave it here as I can’t really think of anything else to add. Just watch the bloody film. Surely she should be enough to make that happen.
