The camerawork and filmic techniques are sophisticated, story strands transitioning on the fly

I don't know if I'd agree with the first clause--it seems as sophisticated as most films I've seen, no more, no less. As for the second part, I think I know what you mean, but I'm not sure. Are you talking about how the film will suddenly follow different characters entirely? (e.g. the couple in the hotel; the women in the restaurant learning the "proper" way to eat spaghetti, then abandoning it, etc.)? Also, parts of the film parody western films, especially in the music and the occasional ... I don't know what the word for it is--the fistfight that takes place offscreen, through sound effects and people being thrown onscreen, but the "hero" loses; and in the framing of some of the shots.

Well that whole stub was kind of impressionistic, just to get the ball rolling. Probably I should have written a much longer; balanced and detailed article, but hey, that is what collaboration is all about, I am probably too close to the movie anyway to write NPOV without someone keeping me honest. -- Cimon Avaro on a pogo-stick 16:48 2 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Slaughter it!? Um, I try not to slaughter articles.  :-) (though I have, in past, been fairly ruthless with a couple. Humphrey Bogart springs to mind, though by now it may need a revisiting.) Anyway, I'll take a look at it when I get back. Best wishes. Koyaanis Qatsi 16:56 2 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Uhm. Please also note that I wrote "sophisticated", not "innovative". There is a distinction between the two, you know? -- Cimon Avaro on a pogo-stick 09:03 3 Jul 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Beginning

It doesn't begin with Goro's arrival at the ramen shop, but with the Yakuza's addessing the audience and a neighboring movie goer, regarding talking and eating noisy foods (potato chips). Osakadave 16:30, 6 August 2005 (UTC)
