Bae Doo-Na: Inflatable Sex Doll Come To Life In Kore-Eda's KUUKI NINGYOU

by Todd Brown, February 4, 2009 4:03 AM


Title says it all, really. We've been aware for a while now that quirky Korean actress Bae Doo-Na (The Host, Linda Linda Linda) would be teaming up with Japanese director Kore-Eda (Hana, Nobody Knows). What we didn't know was that the film - adapted from a manga by Yoshiie Goda - would feature Bae as an inflatable sex doll who becomes conscious and strikes up a relationship with her owner, a video store clerk played by Ping Pong's Arata. Susumu Terajima, Jo Odagiri and Ryo Iwamatsu also star.

Interesting ... after the Japanese/Korean "Cyborg Girl", another variation on the theme ... but here probably for something completely different ...

Love Kore-Eda's work and I sure am big Bae Doo-Na fan.
She has been going quiet for a while, guess it would be fair to say that this will breathe back life into her on-screen presence ;)

this will be the best movie ever, probably

I have a feeling this will be much more interesting than "Cyborg Girl", though Haruka Ayase is a complete babe.

Interesting title, let's see if it gives Twitch as much accidental traffic as "Isabella Rossellini does bug porn"...
:cheese:
