Bandage (film)
, stylized as ''BANDAGE'', is a 2010 Japanese independent film directed by Takeshi Kobayashi, who also served as the editor, producer and composer and written and produced by Shunji Iwai. Based on the original novel by Chika Kan, Iwai adapted it along with Kan and renamed it ''Bandage''. The movie title has actually two meanings, a literal one, which is a play on the words "Band Age", because the story takes place in Japan's early 1990s, the boom of indie rock bands. And a figurative one, in which a certain character uses music as a "bandage" to heal the feeling of worthlessness. Plot Back in the 1990s, way before the manufactured pop acts we now see on TV, there was a flood of indie rock bands that were televised during talent contests that guaranteed instant fame.

Between popularity and talent, they go through various trials and lineup ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Reception Russell Edwards of ''Variety'' described it as "The origins of a spiritual tradition are depicted with prerequisite solemnity and a pleasing veneer of arthouse showmanship." Mark Schilling, writing for ''The Japan Times'', gave the film three and a half stars and described it as a "rare serious film about this form of Buddhism, which has had a huge cultural influence but is little understood — let alone practiced — by ordinary Japanese."
