Review of Memories of Matsuko (2006) by Beatrix L — 22 Nov 2008
Film employing an arsenal of technical trickery to express Matsuko's unfaltering belief in her ability to one day find the perfect man. The message seems to be that a woman cannot be happy unless she finds a man, even if he turns out to be an abusive monster.
And without a man, she will end up a crazed, fat, limping, lonely old hag. This is a remarkably conservative - to the point of traditionalist - point of view to be taking in this day and age.....A touching story.
