Love & Pop
is a 1998 Japanese experimental coming-of-age film directed and co-written by Hideaki Anno, based on the novel ''Topaz II'' by Ryū Murakami''.'' It was Anno's first live action feature-length film. The film was shot almost entirely on hand-held digital cameras and contains some very unusual camera work, including many different mounted camera positions, such as on a model train riding on tracks. The film also flips from widescreen to fullscreen, distorts (with effects such as a fisheye lens), confuses, and makes use of overlays stacked in layers to convey the character's emotions. An official English DVD was released in 2004 by Kino on Video. Plot The film follows four Japanese high school girls who engage in enjo-kōsai, or compensated dating. This is a practice in Japan where older businessmen pay teenage girls more commonly to simply spend time with them, or for prostitution. The main character, Hiromi, does not have the direction in life that her friends already have. Hir ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
