    If you can't write dialogue or direct actors, you should probably make a film without dialogue and actors.

    Documentary about one of Japan’s most popular rock bands, THE YELLOW MONKEY, reuniting after a 15-year hiatus. I had never heard of the band before and glamrock isn't really my style, but I absolutely loved this film. Director Daishi Matsunaga (Pyuupiru) manages to combine a perfect concert film with a beautiful portrait of four musicians who completely open up in front of the camera. A unique music documentary that deserves a big audience.
