That's really interesting. Don't suppose you have the manga, do you? I went looking for it in second-hand bookshops yesterday, but no luck so far. How's the drawing? I'm imagining it might be quite stylish... The version I watched was Japanese only, but it's definitely been released in other countries, so I reckon there must be a version with English subtitles out there. I might have known!

Spot-on versions of the old movie posters. I wonder what he did with them all after the exhibition, though. Seventy-something old movie billboards would decorate a small city like Naha quite nicely... Ooh, a projector would be nice. I've been indulging my two-years-on-a-tiny-island-induced film craving by watching DVDs and videos at a friend's house lately. Last week we watched a surreal Japanese horror called <em>Uzumaki</em> (‘Spiral') — about a town where everyone first becomes obsessed with, and and then starts turning into, spirals. One of the weirdest films I've ever seen. It seems there's a sequel about a city being attacked by giant floating girls' faces with lethal nooses hanging from them like balloon-strings. Nice!
