Kaizokuban Bootleg Film
Katsuhito Ishii Is A Busy Man.

Funky Forest and Taste of Tea director Katsuhito Ishii has always been a man who likes to keep busy, but this is crazy. His most recent feature Yama No Anato is freshly released in Japan and already he’s got two other projects on the go. And they are:
Sorasoi. This one is described as a comic mockumentary tracking a group of college students in a hostel training for a dance competition. Shooting occurred last month and the director aims to have the film one hundred percent complete by next month with an eye to premiering it at the Hawaii International Film Festival. The fine lads at Nippon Cinema have stills here.
Project the second? Titled U-BEE, it is described as an attempt to “express video art as a form of interior decoration.” It’s pretty pictures to put on your TV while not watching it, basically. The “right way” To waht U-BEE is summed up like this:
U-BEE is not something to be watched. Like a table or a chair, it is to be treated as a piece of furniture, to be there in the living room on a day off reading a book, in the bar lounge at a party where people gather, or in a hotel room welcoming the guest.
This means I have just spent rather a lot of money to own something not meant to be watched. Hee hee.

Todd, be sure to post pics of that for our “most beautiful DVD” forum topic.
And while you’re at it, write a review for it!
