Review of The Bird People in China (1998) by Tsubaki S — 16 Jul 2007
A much calmer film from Miike, showing he can do much more things than most people give him credit for.
Surprisingly enough the film avoids cheap sentimental tricks that you would expect from a crowd-pleaser affair. The story and characters unfold in a sincere way, the change the two main characters have when they encounter the village is beliavable. All this makes "Bird People" something more than just a typicall road movie. A shame that this would not make a single sound in most people radars, either because they think Miike is only good at doing carnages or because this hasn't won any big shot award in some redundant film festival.
Must see.
