The Year of My Japanese Cousin (1995)
Director: Maria Gargiulo
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Un film de Gargiulo (she wrote, directed and edited), this slight tale concerns Stevie (Vigil), a rock guitar wannabe in trendy downtown Seattle, who's well and truly (and rather predictably) upstaged by cousin Yukari (Tanaka). It's hip, flashily edited and features lots and lots of grunge complaint rock, so much, in fact, that it resembles an audio-visual demo tape. Fans of Silly Rabbit, Deflowers and The Smugglers won't want to miss it, but Elvis movies have more substance.Author: TCh
