Some Kinda Love (1995)
Director: Shunichi Nagasaki
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Two former classmates (one a town hall planner, the other a less than high minded property developer) have their lives turned upside down by close encounters with Kiriko (Mizushima), a charming flake whose obsession with UFOs somehow matches her inability to stay in one place for long. Probably too light to be a real Jules et Jim for the 1990s; it needs more of the darker colourings Nagasaki brings to most of his films. But it has many pleasures, including cameos from Tetsuo director Shinya Tsukamoto as a corruptible bureaucrat and Nagasaki veteran Takeshi Naito as Kiriko's hapless husband, a forlorn but stoic dentist.Author: TR
