Kamikaze Girls (3 Stars)

17-year-old Momoko is an outsider. She lives in a small village in Japan, but she's fascinated by the clothing of the rococo period in France. That's how she dresses, and everyone thinks she's crazy. She wishes she could have lived in France in the 18th century, but it's 8000 miles away and she's 250 years too late. She finds Japan ugly in comparison with the elegance of France. I disagree. I'd rather live in Japan.

If a Japanese teenager dresses like this, it's understandable that she's an outsider.

Momoko's father used to sell bootleg clothing (illegally using the logos of large companies), but he was sued and had to give up. Momoko makes money on the side by selling her father's old stock. One of her customers is Ichigo, a 17-year-old member of a girl biker gang.

An unlikely friendship develops between the two girls from different worlds.

I enjoy the film a lot, but there are too many silly little details. Ichigo falls in love with a gangster with a ridiculous hairstyle. You can find him in the poster at the top. Momoko's father likes to fart in her face. That's disgusting. I don't want to see things like that. The film could have been made better with only a little effort.
