Tina Tamashiro and Tatsuya Fujiwara co-star in Mika Ninagawa’s Tarantino-esque romp about an unlucky girl who becomes the waitress-slave in a diner for assassins.
Japanese fashion photographer-turned-filmmaker Mika Ninagawa lets out the stops in her madly colored, frantically paced and urgently orchestrated faux-horror-comedyIt stars pretty young innocent Tina Tamashiro as an unwanted, not too bright girl whose talent for cooking keeps her alive when she gets a job waiting tables in a yakuza restaurant out of hell, run by the seductive but dangerous chef Tatsuya Fujiwara .
Bambi-eyed Tina Tamashiro plays Kanako Oba . Her feeling of alienation is portrayed in a stylized opening scene set on a busy business street; she is the only one not grimly marching in step. Her mother abandoned her as a child and she’s a disaster at any form of work. When she answers an ad for a chauffeur, she finds herself driving two insane criminals around.
The stage is set for the entrance of a motley crew of eccentric baddies. The scarred youth Skin takes a shine to Oba . A tiny fellow called The Kid, on the other hand, turns out to be pretty vicious. Later in the film, other gangland kingpins are introduced, including glittering queen-pins Maria and Blaise. The latter is played as a stylish arch-criminal by’s lead, the singer-model-actress Anna Tsuchiya.
