I Am Trying To Break Your Heart

If it weren't for the twist, where Warner Bros steps on itself, this would be an uninspiring rockumentary.

Shall We Dance?

No, not with jay-low, but with Tamiyo Kusakari. At points one wonders whether Masayuki Suo watched Strictly Ballroom a few too many times, but the transformation into Japanese culture and mores impacts not just the ephemeral trappings (language, environment, conventions) but the plot itself. Reticence, sublimination, and interpersonal evasion are given their due, as are the moments of direct communication in which whole inner lives are laid bare. It's touching, entertaining, and while not "realistic" the film manages to be hopeful while not resting on a happily-ever-after coda.
