Well, no. That's not true at all, actually, but while most people who care about Japanese cult director Minoru Kawasaki - he of Calamari Wrestler, Everything But Japan Sinks and other assorted cult film fame - is up to have been focusing on his upcoming revival of Guilala - particularly now that he's cast the iconic Takeshi Kitano is a key role - he's snuck out and made something entirely different. Good thing the fine lads at Nippon Cinema have been paying attention ...

Titled Kamigakari the film is the story of a hair stylist who radically alters her clients' style when they fall asleep in her chair and encourages them to let their new hair style change their lives. And given that this is a Kawasaki film I'd be willing to put down good money that the changes amount to a fair bit more than cutting off an extra inch. Kawasaki has built his name as a low budget creature feature man, a bit of a one hit joke machine, but I'm starting to think he must have a bit of a hair thing, too, as this is at least the second hair oriented comedy that he's turned out, the first being The Rug Cop.
