Viewing Notes

Another title expiring in the Great Netflix Instant Purge of 2013! Was super curious about this one so couldn’t let it go since it’s not available on DVD. This is really an independent movie before the advent of indie films. Almost mumblecore. I enjoyed the fish out of water element of a Japanese woman adjusting to life in America dealing w/Japanese Americans. Nice little film.
